Implications for Surface Wave-Induced Drift of Floating Marine Litter

We examine Stokes drift and wave-induced transport of floating marine litter on the surface of a rotating ocean with a turbulent mixed layer. Due to Coriolis-Stokes forcing and surface wave stress, a second-order Eulerian-mean flow forms, which must be added to the Stokes drift t ...
