Full Citation Examples
High frequency radar can measure the speed and direction of ocean surface currents in near real time. These radars can measure currents over a large region of the coastal ocean, from a few kilometers offshore up to 200 km and can operate under any weather conditions. They are located near the shoreline, and need not be situated atop a high point of land.

Abstract: |
High frequency radar can measure the speed and direction of ocean surface currents in near real time. These radars can measure currents over a large region of the coastal ocean, from a few kilometers offshore up to 200 km and can operate under any weather conditions. They are located near the shoreline, and need not be situated atop a high point of land. |
Purpose: |
To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act. |
