15.0 Survey Progress
15.1 Weekly Progress Reports
-
Must be submitted no later than the Field Unit's local close-of-business time on Monday to the project Google Drive folder identified by the Office of Coast Survey. -
The reporting week is defined as Sunday to Saturday. -
The report may be sent monthly, due the first Monday of the month, once vessel demobilization has occurred and no further data acquisition will occur on the project. -
If there is a planned extended break in operations, the Field Unit may pause submissions as long as they communicate the start and projected end of the break to the OCS Project Manager and/or COR via email, and receive approval to pause submissions from the OCS Project Manager and/or COR.
The progress report must contain:
-
Survey start and end dates. - Linear nautical miles and square nautical miles.
- Survey processing progress including cumulative percentage complete.
-
A brief narrative summarizing all activities of the past week and anticipated activities for the next week. This must include all activities related mobilization/de-mobilization, data acquisition and processing, and any issue which could impact requirements or milestones (e.g. significant delays due to weather or equipment failures).
-
A single band, gray scale 32-bit depth floating point raster, at 8 meter or 16 meter grid resolution to the project CRS. -
Z-values must be positive down, in meters, and areas of no data must have a value of -9999. -
Acceptable raster file formats include BAG, CSAR, and TIFF. Side scan sonar coverage maps may be submitted in TIFF format. -
Naming convention must follow: OPR-X###_XX_##_<year><month><day>.<bag/csar/tiff> (e.g., OPR_A123_KR_21_202110720). If the project coverage is split up into disparate regions or spatial constraints hinder a single project level coverage submissions, use 'xofx' designations as appropriate (e.g., OPR_A123_KR_21_20210720_1of2_.tiff).
15.2 Final Progress Report
The purpose of the final progress report is to provide a graphic and a one-page summary of the project accomplishments. At the Office of Coast Survey’s discretion, the report or portions of the report may be shared internally or externally.
Final Progress Report Contents:
-
Project graphic - Graphic showing final data coverage, the project sheet limits, and appropriate chart. -
Project Metadata and Statistics - For each survey of the project list the Survey Start Date, Survey End Date, Total SNM, Total LNM, and Total Number of Addressed Unverified Charted Features. -
Recommendations and Notes - This may include recommendations for future surveys in the area, interesting findings or acquisition strategies, and/or unique challenges.
The final progress report must be submitted as a PDF following the naming convention presented in the Delivery Structure section. A template may be provided by the OCS Project Manager or COR.
15.3 Survey Outline
The final survey outline must be submitted in GeoJSON format, in unprojected WGS84, and attributed with:
-
Survey Unique ID. -
Area in square nautical miles.
