Abstract :
The ability of coastal HF radars to map ocean surface currents was demonstrated in the early 70s at NOAA in the U.S. Since that time, there was a push to develop this technology into a useful, affordable tool that would fill a big gap: nothing else out there could map surface currents continuously over space and time, and the same holds true today. But who would use these data?
