Vertical transport and confinement of weakly buoyant particles in a convective ocean mixed-layer model

Understanding how particles such as microplastics and plankton spread, or accumulate in localized regions below the ocean surface is crucial both for the development of sea pollutant control strategies and for marine ecology. Yet the role of vertically inhomogeneous turbulence, due to the vertical structure of density...
