Ocean Plastic Assimilator v0.2: assimilation of plastic concentration data into Lagrangian dispersion models

<p>A numerical scheme to perform data assimilation of concentration measurements in Lagrangian models is presented, along with its first implementation called Ocean Plastic Assimilator, which aims to improve predictions of the distributions of plastics over the oceans. This scheme uses an ense...
