Assessment of Horizontal and Vertical offsets Sensor Offsets The Power & Control Systems Group (PacOrd) surveyed the offsets to a maximum error of +/-5cm, with most of the critical offsets measured to within +/-0.5cm. Maximum errors of the angles surveyed did not exceed +/-1.0°. During the SAT, Chuck Hoeing (Kongsberg Rep), Nick Forfinski from NMAO and the Lead Hydrographer verified the sensor offset inputs for the EM1002, POS/MV and the R352_MB vessel configuration file. The second IMU is attached to a plate welded to starboard of the moonpool shaft below deck, aft of the engine room. The offset survey was conducted on March 10, 2009 at the Old Naval Shipyard in Charleston, South Carolina by the National Geodetic Survey Field Operations Branch. Control for the survey was based on alignment cubes recovered and a coordinate report for the survey submitted February 2, 2006 by L3 Communications. For this cruise the Lead Hydrographer and Ed Owens (NOS) confirmed the offsets for the moonpool mounted 7125 and EM1002 settings. Refer to Appendix E and the 2006 Hydrographic Systems Readiness Review (HSSR) for the NANCY FOSTER for more information. 16
Assessment of Sensor Calibrations Each sensor associated with this survey underwent calibration prior to commencement of operations. The digital depths, draft and horizontal offsets were confirmed with a leadline and position checks while docked at Isla De Vieques. The EM1002 and 7125 elevations and positions were also confirmed with a cross check confirmation line surveyed by each sonar system. The offsets to these systems were accurately measured during the PacOrd and NGS surveys and verified by the Lead Hydrographer as well as other participating hydrographers. The CTD values were confirmed by comparing the two units against each other and both received calibrations by the manufacturer within the previous year. The Patch Test occurred during the SAT trials and was confirmed again with the documented NF-03-06, NF-07-06, NF-08-04- USVI and NF-09-01-USVI cruise calibration procedures. Based on these results the Lead Hydrographer feels that all the systems are adequately calibrated for the purpose of this survey. Assessment of Object Detection The EM1002 system’s sonar ping rates are controlled automatically and are dependent on water depths. The 7125 ping rates are range dependent and set by the sonar operator. During acquisition, outer beam overlap was planned at 10%. The goals of the survey were to meet object detection requirements that satisfy IHO Order 1 in waters shoaler than 100m and IHO Order 2 deeper than 100m. Bottom Coverage and Line Spacing The survey lines were generally planned parallel to the contours of the seafloor. Line spacing was determined by depth using 10% overlap with 45° to 60° cutoff angles, port and starboard for the EM1002 and 7125. The line plan spacing did not exceed three times average water depth. Holiday lines were planned according to BASE surfaces created in the field. The resolutions for creating holiday plans were 1m for the shelf regions and 8m for depths generally greater than 100m. Preliminary review of the data in the field by the Lead Hydrographer determined that the bottom coverage and line spacing were considered adequate for the purposes of this survey. Vessel speed Survey operations were primarily conducted at a vessel speed of approximately 4 knots for deep water and approximately 6 knots for the shallow shelf regions. The Field Operations Officer (FOO) of the NOAA ship THOMAS JEFFERSON, which also operates an EM1002, supplied speed and ping rate tables for the EM1002. This table was designed to meet the requirement of the NOAA Specs and Deliverables section 5.2.2: “The hydrographer shall ensure that the vessel speed is adjusted so than no less than 3.2 beam foot prints, center-to-center, fall within 3 m, or a distance equal to 10 percent of the depth, whichever is greater, in the along track direction". Vessel speeds were adjusted to follow this table and to meet project requirements. Additionally, survey speeds were decreased during periods of increased sea state. In the opinion of the Lead Hydrographer, the vessel speeds and the sonar parameters used in this survey adequately ensonified the 17
