We will use the [Current global ocean plastic concentrations dataset](https://plastic.oceanparcels.org/en/latest/initialisationmaps.html) to release virtual particles in coastal model grid cells, using the 2D surface velocity fields to advect the particles. We also include the effects of Stokes drift and wind-induced drift on the particles, but neglect any vertical motion (along with any biofouling, or vertical mixing).\n", |

In this example we will use the `global_concentrations` release type, and set `concentration_type = Beach` (see [here](https://plastic.oceanparcels.org/en/latest/initialisationmaps.html) for more detail), selecting only release locations along the Greek coastline. We will simulate the pathways of plastic particles that at 0.1mm, and will apply a wind coefficient of 1%. We give the plastic particles a denisity of 1030 kg/m<sup>3</sup>, however, since this is an ocean-surface only simulation, this parameter will have no impact on our simulation." |
