This is a WMS viewing service published by SMHI (Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute) that displays oceanographic stations measuring current direction. It shows all stations that have ever delivered data for this parameter, with observations collected from ships (FerryBox systems) or sea buoys. The service is intended for visualizing station locations and coverage rather than for retrieving raw measurement data, and is provided as a national dataset for Sweden with free, unauthenticated access.”Visningstjänsten är en WMS-tjänst som visar oceanografiska stationer som mäter strömriktning. Tjänsten visar alla stationer som någonsin levererat data för denna parametrar. Insamlade från fartyg (FERRYBOX) eller havsbojar.
