 [GLOBAL_ANALYSISFORECAST_PHY_001_024](https://data.marine.copernicus.eu/product/GLOBAL_ANALYSISFORECAST_PHY_001_024) from Copernicus Marine Service — `uo`/`vo` surface current velocity at ~0.083deg resolution, streamed as ARCO Zarr directly from Copernicus S3.
 
+## Other use cases
+
+Any 2D vector field stored as U/V components in a Zarr store works as a source. Examples:
+
+- **Atmospheric wind** — reanalysis products (ERA5, MERRA-2) or NWP model output; visualise jet streams, storm tracks, or surface winds at any pressure level
+- **Ocean surface waves** — Stokes drift or wave propagation direction fields
+- **Ice drift** — sea-ice motion vectors from passive microwave retrievals
+- **River discharge / flood routing** — depth-averaged U/V from hydrodynamic models (Delft3D, SCHISM)
+- **Air quality transport** — horizontal advection of pollutant plumes from dispersion models
+- **Climate projections** — CMIP6 ocean or atmosphere circulation at any time slice; compare historical vs. SSP scenarios
+- **Groundwater flow** — Darcy velocity fields from subsurface models
+- **Wildfire smoke** — wind-driven particle transport overlaid on active fire data
+
+The only requirement is a Zarr v2 store with two named float variables representing the east and north components of the field.
+
+## How it works
+
+A plain-language walkthrough for GIS analysts unfamiliar with WebGL or Zarr.
+
+### 1. Zarr is a tiled raster cube
+
+Think of a Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF extended into four dimensions: longitude × latitude × depth × time. The data is split into chunks — here: 1 time step × 1 depth level × 512 rows × 2048 columns. Zartigl requests only the chunks that intersect the current viewport at the selected time and depth, exactly like a COG tile request.
+
+### 2. Velocity becomes a two-channel raster
+
+Each chunk holds two float arrays — **U** (eastward m/s) and **V** (northward m/s). These are normalized and packed into the R and G channels of an image uploaded to the GPU:
+
+```
+R = eastward velocity  (0 → max west, 128 → still, 255 → max east)
+G = northward velocity
+A = 255 (ocean) | 0 (land / nodata)   ← validity mask
+```
+
+The result is a global velocity raster in GPU memory. The alpha channel is a nodata mask.
+
+### 3. Particles are virtual drifters
+
+Thousands of virtual oceanographic drifters are seeded randomly across the viewport. Every frame (~60 fps), the GPU runs this logic for all of them simultaneously:
+
+> *Where am I? → sample the velocity raster at my position → move a tiny step in that direction → if I drift off-screen or hit land (A = 0), teleport to a random ocean pixel inside the viewport.*
+
+Same logic as a drift model — just running on 65 000+ drifters at 60 frames per second.
+
+### 4. Trails are faded time-lapse
+
+Before each new frame, the previous frame is multiplied by ~0.9999. Particles leave a fading streak — like a long-exposure photograph of drifters. Streak length encodes time; color encodes speed magnitude via a configurable color ramp.
+
+### 5. Particle state lives in GPU memory
+
+Drifter positions are never stored in a CPU array. They are encoded as pixel colors in a GPU texture (X → red, Y → blue, sub-pixel precision in the low byte). Two textures alternate each frame — read from A, write to B, swap — so the GPU never waits on itself. This is the **ping-pong** pattern.
+
+### Pipeline at a glance
+
+| Step | What happens | GIS analogy |
+|---|---|---|
+| Fetch | Request Zarr chunks for viewport + time + depth | COG tile request |
+| Pack | Encode U/V floats into R/G/A texture | Raster → GPU image |
+| Seed | Place N drifters randomly in viewport | Random point sampling |
+| Advect | Each frame: sample velocity, move each drifter | Drift model at 60 fps |
+| Mask | Discard drifters over land (A = 0) | Nodata mask |
+| Fade | Dim previous frame slightly | Long-exposure photography |
+| Color | Map speed to color ramp | Graduated color by value |
+| Composite | Blend result over basemap | Raster layer blending |
