Extend current in time
Nick, one for you. Wind and pressure forecasts are now extending in time. Current forecasts are not. So to run an early optimal routing, I tick "Extend current in time".
But how does Expedition represent that time extension? Some currents follow a cycle, 12 or 24 hours, in which case a cyclical extension would work, but more than a few follow a more random pattern.
How does it work?

Re: Extend current in time
It just assumes the last time field is valid for ever.
So if you have currents for midday today, they would also be used for Hobart 2023,

Re: Extend current in time
OK, constant value. Could one impose a cyclical pattern on the extension? Just an idea!
