This file describes the data pre-processing that was done to Modelled count and mass concentrations of plastic debris in the global ocean for display on Resource Watch.
The data was provided as GeoTIFF files within a zipped folder in Google Drive from the data provider to the Resource Watch team.
To process the data, we used a Python script to download the data from Google Drive, shift the data for the longitude bounds to run from -180 to 180, and uploaded the data to Google Earth Engine.
Please see the Python script for more details on this processing.
You can view the processed Plastic Density in the Oceans dataset on Resource Watch.
