Summary The project is a joint effort between researchers at NPS and SFSU. the project will develop, assess, and document the use of real-time ocean surface current maps from high frequency (HF) radar installations. Specifically, we will evaluate the use of this data in support of oil spill response activities. An extensive test of these capabilities was conducted in connection with the NOAA Safe Seas 2006 oil spill exercise offshore San Francisco in August 2006. We intend to conduct a systematic post-exercise evaluation and to document lessons learned.
