How cool is this!

I wanted to share with you what I think is an exciting freely-accessible, cloud-optimized, dataset: HYCOM-OceanTrack ! This dataset comprises sea surface height and near-surface velocity at hourly time steps on an Eulerian grid from a global HYCOM, 1-year, 1/25 degree simulation resolving the ocean general circulation and the tides. In addition, it comes with nearly 13M Lagrangian trajectories of particles released in the Eulerian velocity fields thanks to Ocean Parcels.

No idea who is still watching little dots on ocean plots, but may be of interest @hrsdawson @adele157 ?

The clouddrift package looks pretty cool too
