A big update for users who are interested in marine data! With the new version 28.1.1. we have significantly improved our Sea currents map and added a new parameter Tidal currents.
What's new:
- new layer Tidal currents
- updated Currents map
- higher resolution
- regular daily updates and forecast for 2 days
Source of our data is CMEMS (Copernicus Marine Service) and both parameters are available on desktop as well as in the app.
Tidal Currents
Tidal currents occur in conjunction with the rise and fall of the tide. The vertical motion of the tides near the shore causes the water to move horizontally, creating currents.
Currents
Ocean currents are the continuous, predictable, directional movement of seawater driven by gravity, wind and water density.
Stay safe and stay tuned for more upcoming features!

Similarly, does your Wave Model take the effect of Wind driven currents AGAINST tidal driven currents into account?
