Simulated marine debris trajectories along the West Antarctic Peninsula in 2008-2009 and 2018-2019

These data represent simulated buoyant debris released along the West Antarctic Peninsula. Files include latitude, longitude, and depth of particles released along the West Antarctic Peninsula within the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) framework. Data currently cover 4 austral summers: 2008, 2009, 2018, and 2019. A total of 12 simulations were conducted, simulating debris fields from 4 potential sources: non-point sources, tourism, fishing, and research.
