through such steps as smooth-plotting, editing, and verification. The hydrographic surveys are conducted primarily by ships and launches based at the Atlantic Marine Center (AMC) in Norfolk, Virginia, and the Pacific Marine Center (PMC) in Seattle, Washington. The field Data Acquisition Subsystem includes more than 30 HYDROPLOT units and the survey processing subsystems which are operational at both AMC and PMC. The PMC sub system, operational since 1975 with a Harris computer and stand-alone Xynetics Plotter, has a newer Calma Digitizing System. This System allows production of complete hydrographic survey tapes which can be readily entered as new data into the central data base. At each of the marine centers there is also a Wild B-8 stereo photogrammetric plotter for compilation of digital topo graphic information from aerial photographs. Data preparation and graphic conversion for other source input to the data base is accomplished at NOS Headquar ters in Rockville on a five-table digitizing system. Also accomplished at Rockville, Maryland, is an analysis of tidal and lake level data collected during survey op erations which is used to correct depth soundings at the marine centers before data is entered into the data base. 2. The Evaluation, Storage, and Compilation Subsystem provides quality control of NOS conducted surveys, eval uates nautical chart data from other sources, reformats data as necessary, stores, retrieves, and updates both NOS-originated data and other source data, and compiles nautical charts. Recently established quality control procedures will be consistent with the system final con figuration and will require little or no modification. 3. The Automated Graphics Subsystem produces nautical chart drawings as well as negatives used to produce printing press plates. Automated graphics products are produced at NOS Headquarters on two Calcomp flatbed plotters, as well as on the one-of-a-kind laser raster production plotter built by MB Associates. This plotter produces reproduction quality full size chart negatives or positives for direct printing plate production. (Slide 2) 4. The Management Subsystem includes such activities as planning, scheduling, budgeting, management informa tion, system logistics, training, etc. This system is 268
centered at NOS Headquarters, but responsibility for portions of it is delegated to the marine centers. It is an integrated management system managed by NOS Headquarters. The Automated Information System The Automated Information System (AIS) is a system im plemented by the Planning Research Corporation/Informa tion Sciences Company (PRC/ISC) under contract to the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, in response to NOS design requirements. The primary objective of the sys tem is to provide nautical chart cartographers with a computer assisted chart compilation and maintenance capability. Two basic concepts in the development of the AIS are the universal, geographic feature oriented data base and the concept of continual update and main tenance. (Slide 3) All incoming source material is evaluated for entry into the data base as soon as pos sible after it is received. Since there is only one record per feature, all charts displaying that feature are corrected at the same time. Different levels of density are selected for large, medium or small scale charts. The source material is handled only once with application and review for all affected charts at the same time, by the same cartographers. (Slide 4) The AIS data base contains the following four types of data: 1. New data—from a new source document. 2. Published data—depicted on a published chart 3. Non-published data—not on a published chart 4. Archival data—superseded data New, Published, and Non-published data reside on disks, but archival data are on magnetic tapes. For purposes of automated nautical chart production, areas of produc-. tion responsibility within NOS are divided into seven geographic areas of approximately equal chart revision activity in terms of number of changes to charts per unit of time: 1. Northeast Atlantic coast 4. Gulf of Mexico 2. Mid-Atlantic coast 5. Pacific coast 3. South Atlantic coast and 6. Alaska and Pacific Caribbean 7. The Great Lakes The six basic types of overlays can be selected for com pilation: 269
