#30DayMapChallenge Day 20 — Water 🌊

Navigating smarter, not harder.

The @Sofarocean Wayfinder Voyage Simulator, built with Mapbox, lets captains and operators test and compare ocean voyage plans in real time. It runs full-physics simulations in the browser using vessel models and live forecast data — so users can adjust routes, tweak power, and instantly see the impact on ETA, fuel, and weather.

[Sofar Ocean @Sofarocean]

8 Spotter buoys were airdropped ahead of #HurricaneMilton today. The buoys will make real-time observations of extreme conditions generated by the storm before landfall. 12 Spotters deployed ahead of Hurricane Helene remain active to the north.

Spotters airdropped ahead of #HurricaneHelene made real-time observations of extreme conditions in the Cat 4 storm.
Here we overlay satellite imagery w/Spotter drift tracks. SPOT-31995C (southernmost track) observed max wave heights of 70+ feet.

[Sofar Ocean @Sofarocean]

13 Sofar Spotter buoys were airdropped ahead of #HurricaneHelene to make real-time observations of the storm.
The buoys will measure the most extreme conditions generated by Helene later Thu. One buoy has already seen max wave heights of 45+ feet.
