Definition
Review of a hydrographic survey that is directed toward evaluating compliance with, and the adequacy of, standards, rather than a careful examination of the data and their quality. The survey is carefully examined for adequacy with respect to data acquisition and conformance with applicable standards and project instructions. In addition, the overall condition of the records and the Descriptive Report are examined. The digital data representing the survey is plotted and subjected to a cursory examination (spot check) to ensure that digital data standards are being adhered to. The examination of the survey data is limited only to that necessary to evaluate the acquisition and processing procedures.
