CurrentLens

CurrentLens is a web app (with an optional mobile companion) that turns complex ocean circulation data into decision-ready maps and alerts for coastal operators. Users pick a region and time window, then see a simplified “what matters” layer: surface current direction/speed, likely drift corridors, and uncertainty bands. It pulls from public datasets (e.g., Copernicus Marine, NOAA) and adds an AI-assisted narrative that explains why currents are changing (wind, tides, eddies) without pretending to be a perfect forecast. The goal is not to replace professional ocean models; it’s to make them usable for non-specialists who still need to act. The app supports quick scenario checks (e.g., “if a spill occurs here, where does it likely go in 24–72 hours?”) and exports shareable briefings for teams and regulators.
