Multiple resolution BASE surfaces with different depth thresholds were created <strong>for</strong> each<br />

survey area to demonstrate multibeam coverage according to section 5.1.2.2 in the<br />

NOAA Specs <strong>and</strong> Deliverables, April 2009. The surfaces were also stitched together<br />

with the combine surface comm<strong>and</strong>, there<strong>for</strong>e creating a single layer <strong>and</strong> retaining the<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation from each surface used to create the combined surface. The HIPS export<br />

wizard produced 24-bit sun-illuminated geo-referenced images of the BASE depth<br />

surfaces, <strong>and</strong> ASCII XYZ text exports at resolutions in accordance with the depth<br />

thresholds <strong>for</strong> each survey area <strong>and</strong> as a combined surface. A final analysis was<br />

per<strong>for</strong>med on the BASE depth surfaces with the Hips Quality Control <strong>Report</strong> <strong>and</strong> is<br />

discussed in the Assessment of IHO Compliance section.<br />
