2.3.1 Important regarding current directions
When the web site shows that main ocean currents direction is N
(north), the current moves from south to north. Western (W)
current moves from east and is moving east. Currents are thus
named after the direction they are moving to.
This deviates from how we speak of wind directions which are
named after the direction it moves from.
