🔬 Advanced Physics
Vertical Mixing Model
From environment
Wind only
Constant depth
Environment uses real CMEMS oceanographic data with KPP mixing
Wind Drift Factor
Auto-calculate
0.01 (Low wind effect)
0.02 (Medium)
0.03 (High wind effect)
0.05 (Very high)
Auto-calculate uses container properties for realistic drift
Coastline Action
Stranding (stops at shore)
Bounce back
Include Stokes Drift
Yes (recommended)
No
Wave-induced surface drift from Open-Meteo wave data
🌊 Data Sources
🌊
CMEMS:
Ocean currents & temperature
🌤️
Open-Meteo:
Wind & wave data
Both sources active simultaneously for maximum accuracy
