Hydrographic Data Acquisition and Processing System, using HYPACK, ISIS, HPS, and Map Info
Intermediate Depth Swath Survey System (IDSSS), using Hydrochart II
The WHITING underwent a major upgrade in 1989. Hydrochart II was installed which utilizes a computer system to acquire and process hydrographic 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.
