Research Objectives:
Mapping of the ocean surface currents along the Oregon coast is the primary objective. This research is on going, hence the request
for a 5 year license. Present funding (grant #0237710 below) extends through the year 2008. Pending proposals extend research
objectives to the year 2010.

Research conducted under the following National Science Foundation grants:
Grant#
9907854        Collaborative Research: Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST)

0237710        Collaborative Research: Productivity, Biogeochemical Transformations and Cross-Margin Transport in an Eastern Boundary
               Buoyant Plume Region

0000734        Collaborative Research: GLOBEC: Mapping the Evolution of Mesoscale Jets and Eddies in the Upwelling Ecosystem off Cape
               Blanco, Oregon, Using Long-Range High Frequency Radar

Fee Exempt:
This research is being sponsored by federally funded research grants to a public university, and as such should be considered fee
exempt.

Technique:
The equipment measures ocean currents using the echoes of radio waves scattered continuously from ocean waves. The received radio
waves are shifted in frequency by the combined effects of ocean waves and ocean currents. The known properties of the ocean waves
are then subtracted, leaving the effects of the ocean currents.
