Sea Surface Color with the Spilhaus projection

This figure presents a global ocean current dataset visualized using the Spilhaus projection, a conformal map that places the world's oceans at the center, emphasizing oceanic processes and large-scale circulation patterns.

The ocean surface current data is sourced from the Copernicus Marine Service, specifically from the following product:

   Product ID: MULTIOBS_GLO_PHY_MYNRT_015_003
   Dataset ID: cmems_obs-mob_glo_phy-cur_nrt_0.25deg_P1D-m

This dataset provides near-real-time, high-resolution Level 4 ocean current observations, combining data from multiple observational platforms to ensure optimal accuracy and spatial coverage. It is essential for monitoring oceanic dynamics, understanding circulation patterns, and supporting maritime safety, navigation, and environmental monitoring.
