01 / GET STARTED

How to start

Wait for the globe and currents, then click the sea to release dye and watch its simulated trail.

02 / ABOUT THE CREATION

Flow lines and dye make the direction and scale of ocean currents easier to explore.

03 / MORE TO KNOW

Dye and drifters are simulated; the data inspected was a 22 October 2026 snapshot, not live. Other layers and mobile were not tested.
