Research Act of 2020 (Pub. L. 116–271). 

The Committee advises the NOAA 

Administrator and the Interagency 

Ocean Observation Committee (IOOC) 

on matters related to the responsibilities 

and authorities set forth in section

their needs for information provided by the 

System, and the System’s effectiveness in 

disseminating information to end-user 

communities and to the general public; and 

(d) additional priorities, including— 

(1) a national surface current mapping 

network designed to improve fine scale sea 

surface mapping using high frequency radar 

technology and other emerging technologies 

to address national priorities, including Coast 

Guard search and rescue operation planning 

and harmful algal bloom forecasting and 

detection that— 

(i) is comprised of existing high frequency 

radar and other sea surface current mapping 

infrastructure operated by national programs

assets or other fine scale sea surface mapping 

technology assets, and other assets needed to

(2) fleet acquisition for unmanned 

maritime systems for deployment and data 

integration to fulfill the purposes of this 

subtitle; 

(3) an integrative survey program for 

application of unmanned maritime systems

and sea surface data on biology, chemistry, 

geology, physics, and hydrography; 

(4) remote sensing and data assimilation to 

develop new analytical methodologies to 

assimilate data from the System into 

hydrodynamic models;

NOAA on, the Department of the Navy, and 

academic research institutions; and
