DATA ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING SYSTEM 



Data Acquisition Systems: 



Hydrographic Data and Processing System (HDAPS) 



Intermediate Depth Swath Survey System (IDSSS) , Hydrochart II 



Scientific Environmental Acquisition System (SEAS) 



The WHITING underwent a major upgrade in 1989. Hydrochart II was 

 installed which utilizes a Micro-Vax computer system to acquire and 

 process hydorgraphic data. Real-time bottom contour charts with a swath 

 width of approximately 2 1/2 times the water depth, ranging from 10 

 to 1000 meters, can be generated. Traditional hydrographic methods have 

 also been retained.
