4LORIDA <br />TECH <br />Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida <br />Dear Commissioners, <br />Florida Institute of Technology <br />College of Engineering and Science <br />January 11, 2024 <br />I am the Principal Investigator (PI) on the NOAA grant that is funding the coastal radar at Treasure Shores (TS). <br />I am reaching out with respect to section "1.1 Extension of License" in the three-year agreement that was signed <br />and approved Jan 19, 2021 — between the IRC Commission and Florida Tech. As indicated in the agreement, I am <br />asking for an extension for two, one-year periods. The project will continue to be funded for at least the next <br />couple of years. <br />I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your support of this project. We are almost finished with our <br />second radar installation in Brevard County (Hightower Beach). Once this radar is up and running, we will be able <br />to generate near shore current information in real time (I will provide the link). At the moment, there are data <br />flowing from the TS radar and you can see diagnostics at: https://hfinet.ucsd.edu/diagnostics/. If there are any <br />questions or issues, please don't hesitate to contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Steven M. Lazarus <br />Professor of Meteorology, College of Engineering and Science <br />Ocean Engineering and Marine Science <br />(slazarus _,fit.edu) <br />124 <br />
