Hex fill · single select

The one genuine single-select: a hex cell can only be one colour. Every data layer overlays on top of whichever fill is chosen, including None.

Fit colours to this fieldStretches the ramp over the range this layer actually reaches across the 8-day window. Off = absolute 0 to 100, which is honest but renders most layers nearly flat.

Fill opacity

Data layers · combine freely

Independent, and drawn as strokes, dots and circles rather than fills, so nothing underneath is hidden.

Pressure threshold for the outline layer

Environment · synthetic

A tide and weather engine over an 8-day window, so the map is a moving twin rather than one frozen frame. All synthetic. Targets are NOAA CO-OPS 9449211 (Bellingham) for tide and Open-Meteo for weather, both declared and not wired.

Tidal range scale

Set the tidal range to 0 to freeze the tide and see exactly how much of the movement in the map is tidal.
