Dr. Gregory Dusek is an oceanographer with the NOAA NOS Center for Op-
erational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) and is the project
lead for the NOAA HF Radar Surface Currents Web product. His research back-
ground is in coastal and estuarine processes, and he presently leads multiple
projects, including observing tidal currents in Puget Sound, Washington, and
rip current forecasting.
Paul Fanelli is an oceanographer with CO-OPS and provided requirements in-
put and product testing for the NOAA HF Radar Surface Currents Web product.
He leads the Storm QuickLook Team, which provides storm surge information
during tropical cyclone events and has led or supported numerous projects
involving developing or enhancing Web-based products for tidal current data
dissemination.

and regional observing associations, among others. We plan
to continue to improve the NOAA HF Radar Surface Cur-
rents Web product in line with the needs of our partners
and stakeholders and anticipate that this product can help
demonstrate the value and utility of HF radar data to a wide
range of potential new users.
