Abstract
Description
Technical Field

The main contents are to establish a control network on land and conduct underwater topographic surveying and mapping. Underwater topographic surveying and mapping includes sounding point positioning, water depth measurement, water level observation and mapping. The methods of sounding point positioning include section cable method, forward intersection method of theodolite or plane table, back intersection method of sextant, polar coordinate method of total station tachymeter, radio positioning method, underwater acoustic positioning and differential GPS positioning method, etc. Water depth measurement uses tools such as sounding rods, sounding hammers and echo sounders.
