Global High-Frequency Radar Surface Current Mapping Task
Task co-chairs from USA, Australia, and Spain leading a GEO initiative to enhance HF radar networks for surface current and wave measurements worldwide. The GEO Work Plan 2012-2015 endorses this task, aiming to establish a global HF Radar Network for data sharing and expand radar networks for ocean monitoring. The task's applications range from water quality monitoring to maritime safety and disaster detection. Accomplishments include international meetings, dedicated web pages, working groups, and webinars to drive progress in data management, applications, and deployment. Challenges include data formats, distribution, and assimilation, along with frequency management issues addressed in global meetings.

Global High Frequency (HF) Radar Surface Current Mapping GEO Task Co-Chairs Jack Harlan (USA) Lucy Wyatt (Australia) Enrique Alvarez-Fanjul (Spain)
GEO Work Plan 2012-2015 Endorses a task to plan a Global HF Radar Network for data sharing and delivery and to help expand HF radar networks for surface current and wave measurements. This GEO task is mentioned under IN-01 Earth Observing Systems SB-01 Oceans and Society: Blue Planet
There are 89 entities in the Group on Earth Observations 72 countries have a salty coast 35 of those countries have High Frequency radars on their coastline Approximately 410 radars worldwide
