| Title: | NOAA Charted Submarine Cables |
|---|---|
| Status: | Completed |
| Publication Date: | 2018-05-01 |
| Abstract: |
These data depict the occurrence of submarine cables in and around U.S. navigable waters. The geographic extent of these data is greater than the "NASCA Submarine Cables" dataset. The purpose of these data products are to support coastal planning at the regional and national scale. These data are derived from 2017 NOAA Raster Navigational Charts (RNCs). |
| Purpose: |
To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act. |

Data Quality
| Accuracy: |
The attributes in this dataset are believed to be accurate. |
|---|---|
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy: |
Maximum scale of intended use is 1:80,000. |
| Completeness Report: |
Spatial and attribute properties are believed to be complete, although attribute information has been simplified. Geometric thresholds from original data are preserved. No tests have been completed for exhaustiveness. |
| Conceptual Consistency: |
These data are believed to be logically consistent. Geometry is topologically clean. |

Used the online Raster Charts Image Server to create visible submarine cables and used a local copy of the Raster Charts footprints to compile attribute info. |
Process Steps
Process Step 1
| Description: |
• In ArcMap, add image service from https://seamlessrnc.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/RNC and local copy of the Raster Charts footprints • Heads up digitize all visible submarine cables visible on charts • Spatial Join cables data with footprint data to add attribute info • Delete all superfluous fields • Check geometry and project data into WGS 1984 Auxiliary Sphere |
