Rings at 50 and 150 km — the same two the counts above use. The blue mark is the coastal point every sea reading on this page is taken at. The rose is the 72-hour mean wind, pointing the way the air is going. Each layer above is its own address, so a view can be shared. Coastline from Natural Earth at 110 m — regional context, not a survey.
