Stranding of plastic, modelled probability

The data set shows exposed areas, "hot spots", for stranding of plastic along the Norwegian coast. The values are modelled and represent the logarithm of the number of particles hitting land in the simulation. A higher number on the map indicates higher probability for presence of plastic in the beach zone.

Spatial scope
Specific usage

The dataset is meant to give an indication of where plastic in the sea will move towards land, and thus be able to make the collection of plastic waste considerably more efficient.

The data set is results from a model with room for improvement and caveats.
