Description

Doesn't need to be the default, but we could save a bunch of time on some island frames if we conservatively skipped processing the ocean regions. I believe there are some frames where there's just one tiny land part that intersected a frame boundary:

Research direction

No source files, tests, or processing entry points are named. Start by locating wrapped phase processing and determining how a reliable water mask could be supplied and converted with gdal_polygonize. Done means an optional, conservative water mask skips ocean regions without excluding the land needed for processing.
