SCHEDULE II / ITEM 2

HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYING AND OCEANOGRAPHY

February 2001 (1990 Regulations) This examination consists of 3 questions on 1 page (Closed Book)

Q. No. Time: 3 hours Marks

1 Oceanography

(a) Describe what the Beaufort scale is and how it is used. Give a few numerical

examples 6

(b) Enumerate three major types of ocean currents and explain their directions on

the earth’s surface 6

(c) Describe the geostrophic equation and its significance in physical oceanography 6 (d) Describe what a rip current is and its danger (In Spring 2000, Canadian tourists

walking on a beach in Northern California drowned as a result of a rip current) 6 (e) Why was the 1988 North American Vertical Datum not held fixed at tidal gauges

on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts? 6

(f) Why are tides much higher in certain areas such as the Bay of Fundy? What is

the maximum tide expected in the ocean, far from any shore? 6 2 Underwater Acoustics

(a) Classify and describe the major sonar parameters 14

(b) Describe the effect of water temperature, salinity and pressure changes on the

speed of an underwater acoustic wave 10

(c) What are the two major transmission losses? Give quantitative estimates as a

function of water depth 10

(d) What are the sonar equations? Give two examples. How are they used in

hydrography? 10

3 Design of an Hydrographic Survey

Select and describe a method, together with all relevant system technical parameters required, to survey a constricted navigation channel that has a depth of up to 50 m using IHO S-44 Order 1 specifications. Assume that you can

position the hydrographic ship using DGPS with a 2DRMS accuracy of 1 m. 20
