Fig. 8From: Ejection of marine microplastics by raindrops: a computational and experimental studyCumulative distribution of maximum altitude of resolvable droplets (a) and microplastic particles in droplets (b). The graphs indicate the number of droplets / particles ejected above a specified altitude depending on raindrop diameter. Above the cut-off altitude hcut marked by the asterisk, all droplets are detected by our simulations (solid line). Below hcut, our simulations only provide a lower bound for the number ejected droplets (dashed line) due to limited simulation time as explained in section “Estimating time of droplet separation from crown and cut-off altitude hcut”Back to article page
