Q&A

Can someone help me with ocean currents? I'm really confused

+0
−0

I've been working on a constructed world which started out as the home of an alien race from a sci-fi story I'm writing but just became a pure world building project.

As you can see from the map it has one major continent, one minor continent, and several islands. The poles are nothing but water and ice caps.

I was using artifexian's video as a guide to mapping out ocean currents but eventually, I got confused. Here you can see how far I got before giving up as well as a blank map. Thanks for the help.a map of the planet with lines illustrating the ocean currents

Could someone explain what would be a realistic pattern of surface ocean currents and upwelling for this continental configuration? Thanks!
