Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Central to this research is the measurement of coastal currents along a wide region of the coast for purposes of examining how the ocean interacts with the atmosphere and land, and its response to short and long time scale climate change. A component of this observatory involves the installation of several low power radio antennas, which use backscatter to map ocean surface currents. This scientific instrument (also referred to as CODAR for Coastal Ocean Dynamics Applications Radar) operates in the HF band. The research tool is experimental and is currently being evaluated at many sites around the country for their ability to accurately measure ocean surface currents.
