Abstract

The Hydrographic Department of the United Kingdom has traditionally gathered high quality depth data but, until recent years, without specifying a formal accuracy Standard. In 1986, an accuracy Standard, based on the IHO recommendation, was set. The experience of monitoring and maintaining the Standard, and much thought and discussion of the deeper theory of the subject have led to a revision t>f the Standard effective from January 1991.
