plasticparcels
plasticparcels is a python package for simulating the transport and dispersion of plastics in the ocean.
The tool is based on the Parcels computational Lagrangian ocean analysis framework (@Lange2017 and @Delandmeter2019), providing a modular and customisable collection of methods, notebooks, and tutorials for advecting virtual plastic particles with a wide range of physical properties. A peer reviewed paper describing plasticparcels can be found here: .

Installation
plasticparcels can be installed using conda from the conda-forge channel with the following command:
bash
conda install conda-forge::plasticparcels
Required data
plasticparcels has been developed for use with data from the Copernicus Marine Service, and requires the following data to run:
- Hydrodynamic model data: MOI GLO12 (psy4v3r1)
- Biogeochemical model data: MOI BIO4 (biomer4v2r1)
- Wave data: ECMWF ERA5 Wave (specifically, the variables
mean_wave_period,peak_wave_period,u_component_stokes_drift, andv_component_stokes_drift.) - Wind data: ECMWF ERA5 Wind (specifically, the variables
10m_u_component_of_windand10m_v_component_of_wind)
For downloading the wind and wave data, we recommend using the CDS API.
To run most of the examples, you will need to update the data directories in the relevant settings .json file.
Just like the parcels framework, plasticparcels can be adapted to use other hydrodynamic, biogeochemical, wave, and atmospheric models. If you require assistance, please contact us through the plasticparcels discussions page.
