Note:
this dataset only reports the data of the publication:
"Marine plastics alter the organic matter composition of the air-sea boundary layer, with influences on CO2 exchange: A large-scale analysis method to explore future ocean scenarios", STOTEN, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159624
with data only on sea-surface microlayer (SML) components and underlying water parameters solely in relation to carbonate chemistry (TA,DIC,pH,pCO2..etc) as described in the publication.

All other data from the underlying water are available at the following DOI:
https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.910742
As a supplement to the publication "Microplastics increase the marine production of particulate forms of organic matter. Environmental Research Letters, 14(12), 124085", https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ab59ca
