E Bruce Jones, M. Asato · 1971
Accurately surveying the physical properties of the ocean and estuaries is one of the primary functions of the National Ocean Survey. Because of the long delay between acquiring the data and publishing the results when the acquired data is processed manually, the National Ocean Survey, like others in this field, has turned to automation. This paper will discuss what has been accomplished during the last decade in the area of survey automation.
