Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has the statutory mandate to collect hydrographic data in support of nautical chart compilation for safe navigation and to provide background data for engineers, scientific, and other commercial and industrial activities. Hydrographic survey data primarily consist of water depths, but may also include features (e.g. rocks, wrecks), navigation aids, shoreline identification, and bottom type information. NOAA is responsible for archiving and distributing the source data as described in this metadata record. Survey types are B: Hydrographic EEZ Surveys; D: Discovery Surveys; H: Hydrographic Surveys; F: Field Edit Surveys; W: Non-NOS Hydrographic Surveys.

| Bathymetric Attributed Grid (BAG) Color Shaded Relief "Subsets" ArcGIS Image Service | JSON | REST endpoint for Bathymetric Attributed Grid (BAG) Color Shaded Relief "Subsets" ArcGIS Image service. Allows access to the underlying images; allows subsets using a definition query; maximum of 80 rasters displayed at a time. When using the subsets version in ArcMap or the JavaScript API, etc., a definition query can be used to display groupings of images. Example definition query to view all the BAGs for a single NOS survey H12003 off Maryland/Virginia: "Name LIKE 'H12003%'". | Open resource |
