Abstract

The French Lighthouse and Buoyage Service (Service des Phares et Balises) and the Port Autonome de Bordeaux developed in 1980 an original method for the processing of hydrographic sounding data by the use of a desk-top minicomputer. This method uses the DALI 2 programme for the automatic plotting of the sounding sheet as well as for the calculation of volumes which are essential for the planning of dredging and the study o f changes in the bottom topography.
