or monitoring activities of floating marine debris fate and accumulation (e.g., Liubartseva et al., 2018). However, the precision of such simulations drastically depends on the accuracy of the wind and ocean surface currents data used to force the Lagrangian transport model. For example, De Dominicis et al. (2016) showed that, after 24 h, the distance between observed and predicted drifter locations can range from 2-5 km up to 15-25 km, depending on the model data used to force the particle tracking model. Similarly, Dagestad and Röhrs (2019) found that, after 48 h, drifter trajectories simulated using surface currents detected from satellite or computed by a number of ocean models with different resolution may present a separation distance from the observed tracks of about 20-25 km.
