Short summary
We develop a forecasting system for marine-litter concentration (MLC) in the Mediterranean based on a simple statistical method. The idea is that similar meteorological situations yield similar MLC patterns. We train our model with a historical meteorological dataset and MLCs from numerical simulations to recognize these situations and patterns and use them to forecast the future MLC. The results are promising; the approach has potential to become a suitable, cost-effective forecasting method.
