Abstract

Read online

A tool to estimate the ray-tracing component of the surveyed depth uncertainty was created and made publicly available through Web services and a Web geographic information system. The estimation is based on a spatial variability analysis at the time of validity of two popular, global-scope sources of oceanographic environmental data. The tool has potential applications in all the phases of ocean mapping, from survey planning to data collection and processing.
