摘要
Pelagic tar and plastic have been measured along 158°W in the North Pacific. Maxima in the abundance of tar are associated with convergent meso scale and with small scale surface circulation features observed at the same time. There is no significant correlation between abundance of tar and that of plastic. It appears that this difference in distributions is the result of different input patterns or residence times. © 1979.
