[WIP] Cooking up a world from scratch

[Heliagon]

Okay, time for the climates! I'm mostly following Azelor's climate guide.

First up is the map of ocean currents:

For the most part, I think I've arranged them logically, but there are two places (the question marks on the map) where I'm not a 100% sure how the currents would actually move. For the northwestern ocean, I ended up emulating the Atlantic Ocean currents because the two have a similar latitude and (somewhat) similar landmass arrangement. As for the other question mark, I wasn't sure if smaller gyres would form or whether the continental shelf around the island arcs would even redirect the eastern ocean current.


Here are the pressure maps for January and July:

If anyone has any advice/critique (especially on the currents), I'd be happy to hear it!

Coming along nicely.
