Assessment of the sources and inflow processes of microplastics in the river environments of Japan.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that microplastic pollution in river environments has progressed more in polluted rivers with poor water quality than in rivers with good water quality, leading to the conclusion that the sources and inflow processes of microplastics inRiver environments are similar to those of other pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
An estimation of the average residence times and onshore-offshore diffusivities of beached microplastics based on the population decay of tagged meso- and macrolitter
TL;DR: The residence times of microplastics and the 1D onshore-offshore diffusion coefficients were inferred, and are one to two orders of magnitude greater than the coefficients of the macroplastics.
Journal ArticleDOI
A decadal prediction of the quantity of plastic marine debris littered on beaches of the East Asian marginal seas
TL;DR: Modeled year-to-year variation in litter quantities indicated that the amount of litter would continue to increase in the East Asian marginal seas if the level of outflow remains constant in the coming decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of a beach as a time-invariant linear input/output system of marine litter.
TL;DR: The amplitude and phase characteristics of the beach as a time-invariant linear input/output system are shown and the hydrodynamic and geomorphological factors that would determine the characteristics with the aid of a diffusion equation are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a high-frequency ocean surface radar (HF radar) was used to measure the detailed surface current fields with high spatiotemporal resolution toward understanding detailed processes of resonant response to tsunami waves in coastal regions.
