From Page 10:Also in support of oil spill response, NOAA requests a $5.0 million increase toimplement the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Surface CurrentMapping Plan using high frequency (HF) radar surface current measurements.

HF radar provides information vital to oil spill response, national defense,homeland security, search and rescue operations, safe marine transportation,water quality and pollutant tracking, and harmful algal bloom forecasting.
