2.2.1. Overview

The Survey Validation tab will:

• Receive bathymetric grids and feature file inputs for analysis (see Data inputs).

• Scan grids for anomalous grid data “fliers” (see Flier Finder).

• Scan grids for empty grid nodes that meet NOAA NOS Hydrographic Survey Specifications and Deliverables (HSSD) definitions of “holidays” (see Holiday Finder).

• Compute basic grid statistics to ensure compliance to uncertainty and density requirements prescribed in the HSSD (see Grid QA).

• Scan grids to ensure the eligibility of soundings designated (see Designated Scan).

• Scan features to ensure proper attribution (see Feature Scan).

• Ensure surveyed features are properly accounted for in the gridded bathymetry (see VALSOU Checks).

• Export bottom samples to a text file for archival (see SBDARE export).

• Ensure the survey deliverables and directory structure are complete and meet requirements prescribed in the HSSD. (see Submission checks).
