	Hydrographer
		The second Hydrographer (PY-30), originally classified PY-30 before commissioning, was built in 1928 by Spear Engine Works, Norfolk, Va., and operated as a survey ship along the Atlantic coast and in the Caribbean for the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
		Immediately after commissioning, Hydrographer steamed to Newfoundland, where she spent the remainder of 1942 charting the approaches and harbor to the important Allied base at Argentia.

	Hydrographer \| The Good Guides
		Hydrographers measure, describe and map the earth's surface waters (including oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, estuaries and the water in channels and pipes).
		A land hydrographer is mainly involved in the measurement, analysis, and maintenance of the quantity and quality of water in rivers, lakes, stormwater and sewage.
		An ocean hydrographer is involved in the mapping of oceans and seas.

	Definition of Hydrographer
		A hydrographic survey will therefore include accurate positions and representations of hills, mountains and even lights and towers that will aid in fixing a ship's position as well as the aspects of the sea and seabed.
		A hydrographic survey differs from a bathymetric survey in some important respects, particularly in a bias toward least depths, due to the safety requirements of the former and geomorphology descriptive requirements of the latter.
		Hydrographic services in most countries are carried out by specialised hydrographic offices.

	Hydrographer Acts To Defend Mariners Safety, Thursday, April 24, 1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The Commonwealth, through the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO), is continuing proceedings in the Federal Court against Navionics SpA and its distributor, Oceantalk Pty Ltd, to protect its copyright and ensure the safety of Australian mariners.
		The Australian Hydrographic Office rejects in the strongest terms that there are 36 errors in the charts of Sydney Harbour as claimed by Navionics.
		The Australian Hydrographic Office is an agency of the Royal Australian Navy and is the authority responsible for the collection and presentation of navigational information to be used by mariners for safe navigation in Australian waters.

	G
		During his thirty-seven years with the Hydrographic Service, twenty-one season were spent in the field as assistant hydrographer and hydrographer-in-charge of shore and ship parties; six years were spent supervising the maintenance and construction of new units for the hydrographic fleet; and his final ten years were spent as dominion hydrographer.

	Francis Beaufort Summary
		Sir Francis Beaufort, British admiral and hydrographer to the Royal Navy, was the first in 1805 to introduce and describe a scale of wind for estimating wind strengths without the use of instruments, a system based on subjective observations of the sea.
		Beaufort's next assignments were for a hydrographic study of the Eastern Mediterranean, and a patrol mission.
		Beaufort represented the geographers, astronomers, oceanographers, geodesists, and meteorologists to that government agency, the Hydrographic Office, which could support their research.

		At one point, we also saw what we first thought was a dolphin leap completely out of the water, but what became evident as an unusual Beaked Whale only as we passed by, unfortunately too quickly to identify it to species.
		As we passed through Welker Canyon and began to approach Hydrographer's Canyon (about 10 miles to the east-southeast of us) in mid-afternoon, the sun was getting lower on the horizon about 15 degrees off the port side of our bow.
		Kate Sutherland and I were covering the bow and Brian was up near the wheelhouse, scanning directly off the bow and to the starboard, beginning to search intently for anything small and out-of-the-ordinary.

		As captain Hydrography and Meteorology –; or simply Captain H – Capt Barritt was in overall charge of the Royal Navy’s survey vessels, based at Plymouth.
		He also held the title of Hydrographer of the Royal Navy, and his duties included advising the Navy Board and assisting the Chief Executive of the UK Hydrographic Office on matters of hydrography – the science of surveying the seas and determining locations of reference points, depths of water and so on.
		The surveying arm of the Royal Navy acquired top-level recognition early in the 19th century, when Hydrographer of the Navy, Thomas Hurd, persuaded the Admiralty that their charts should go on general sale, and that surveys at sea would best be carried out by Royal Navy ships.

		As the foci of these earthquakes are located under sea bottoms of the Nankai Trough extending to the south of Tokai district and the Kii Peninsula, the central part of Japan, it is predicted by the Central Disaster Management Council that the Pacific coasts of Japan are flooded by tsunamis more than three meters high.
		Therefore, the Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department of Japan (JHOD) carried on studies for simulation and expression method of information in order to comprehend the flows of tsunamis, and developed the method of producing the tsunami simulation and tsunami information maps which included whole information concerning tsunamis in the sea areas.
		By using the data of depth obtained from the airborne laser survey, we are going to further improve the safety of vessels navigating through coastal waters, as well as to provide information on topography near the coastal area, sequential from land and sea, to those who need them for marine leisure and ocean development.
