A Hyperspectral Reflectance Database of Plastic Debris for River Ecosystems

This is a unique hyperspectral reflectance dataset of weathered and virgin floating plastic debris with different sizes and types under controlled laboratory conditions. The dataset contains the NETCDF files. Each NETCDF file follows the labeling structure in the following format: ├─ ID # Observation Number └─├─ Polymer # Polymer Type └─├─ Background # Background setting └─├─Sediment Concentration # Sediment concentration └─├─Debris Color # Debris color └─├─Plastic Fraction # Percentage of plastic fraction └──Quality Flag # Quality flag (1: lowest, 5: highest) Acknowledgment: The funding support from the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR, M.L.2021 E812RSM) is greatly acknowledged
