Resumen

El esquema (o el bosquejo) de las Cartas Náuticas Electrónicas (ENCs) de la NOAA se basa en las cartas tradicionales de papel/ráster de las que se derivaron. Como resultado, la modernización de la cobertura ENC actual para mejorar el modo en el que se visualizan en un entorno digital, aumentar su nivel de detalle e incorporar datos de levantamientos adicionales fuera de los límites existentes, es compleja. Como parte del esfuerzo de la NOAA «ENC-First», se desarrolló un enfoque en materia de restructuración para proporcionar una cobertura sin interrupciones y en forma de mosaico, que puede ser fácilmente segmentada o ampliada basándose en la ubicación geográfica, los datos disponibles y la escala. En este nuevo enfoque de cobertura ENC reticulada regular se utilizan menos de una docena de escalas de cartas (por debajo de las 130 escalas actuales utilizadas en el esquema de cartas de papel). El plan de restructuración también tiene por objeto mejorar los productos para los navegantes que prefieran las cartas de papel. Las escalas uniformes permitirán a los navegantes crear cartas personalizadas con una nueva aplicación en línea. Además, la NOAA ha creado una línea de producción para ambos productos, las cartas ENCs y Ráster (RNCs), que reducirá los recursos de producción para el mantenimiento de dos productos cartográficos.

In addition to the Rescheme Team, LTJG Catoire serves as the U.S. representative on the International Charting Coordination Working Group for the South West Pacific Hydrographic Commission and received the S-8 Category B, IHO Certification in Cartography.

Colby Harmon, U.S. Joint Military Intelligence College

Colby Harmon is a staff cartographer and project manager in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Coast Survey. Previously, he worked at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and its predecessor organizations. He has been involved in developing and maintaining specifications for several digital map and chart products and their symbolization throughout his career. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Geography from the University of Connecticut and a Masters of Science in Strategic Intelligence from the U.S. Joint Military Intelligence College. Prior to obtaining his undergraduate degree, Mr. Harmon served in the U.S. Air Force as a geodetic surveyor.
