Downloads and processes surface wind data from the Global Forecast System <https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/weather-climate-models/global-forecast> and sea-current data from Ocean Surface Current Analyses Real-time (OSCAR). Converts flow speed and direction into spatial rasters and directed movement costs and conductances for connectivity and least-cost path analyses.
