Research abstract
A cloud based system for sharing bathymetric survey data collected by FarSounder customers is proposed as a way(1) to improve safety of navigation on our oceans, (2) to collect measurements for the broader scientific and maritime communities and (3) to generally explore and broadly share information about our oceans in fulfillment of ideas proposed in Topic 9.3 “The Changing Ocean”, and in accordance with NOAA’s overall Mission. The proposed solution vows continued contributions of subsets of collected bathymetric data to the Data Center for Digital Bathymetry’s Crowdsourced Bathymetry Database, while becoming commercially viable by offering value added data based products (overlays of gridded survey data collected by FarSounder customers) to navigators.
