The Mexican Course has been based on IHO Publication M5 “Competence Standards for Hydrographers”, which was the minimum training for Cat “B” hydrographers INTERNATIONAL HIDROGRAPHIC ORGANIZATION INTERNATIONAL CARTOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION FÉDÉRATION INTERNACIONAL DE GÉOMÉTRES

MINIMUM STANDARDS Basic Topics Those are the fundamentals subjects of all aspects about hydrography and topography. It has the necessary knowledge about reduction, resolution, data processing and to understand the main use of hydrographic equipment. Essentials Topics. This subjects are considered for all hydrographers and topographers and they form the main body of the academic plan. Optional Units. Those that provide guidance to complementary subjects that could be offered by different programs. This kind of courses are more flexible.

At the end of the Hydrographic and Cartographic Course in Mexico, the hydrographers can apply the knowledge for: Be a Campaign Chief (Hydrographer in Charge),Be a Campaign Chief (Hydrographer in Charge), Planning and managing of a Hydrographic Survey based on IHO Standards.Planning and managing of a Hydrographic Survey based on IHO Standards. To know and operate the hydrographic equipment,To know and operate the hydrographic equipment, To evaluate different subjects about personnel, weather and material that could affect the hydrographic operations.To evaluate different subjects about personnel, weather and material that could affect the hydrographic operations. The hydrographer could assist Navy Authorities about handling and employment of strategic - tactic hydrographic and cartographic information with operational purposes.The hydrographer could assist Navy Authorities about handling and employment of strategic - tactic hydrographic and cartographic information with operational purposes.

TRES BRIGADAS DE LEVANTAMIENTOS HIDROGRÁFICOS, ENCARGADAS DE CONDUCIR LAS CAMPAÑAS HIDROGRAFICAS. I. O. DEL GOLFO Y MAR CARIBE On the Field informal training Hydrographic Surveys

CUATRO LANCHAS HIDROGRÁFICAS, DOS POR CADA LITORAL, PARA REALIZAR LEVANTAMIENTOS HIDROGRAFICOS EN AGUAS SOMERAS. I. O. DEL GOLFO Y MAR CARIBE I. O. DEL PACIFICO LEVANTAMIENTOS HIDROGRAFICOS

EN PROCESO DE EQUIPAMIENTO DEL BUQUE DE INVESTIGACIÓN HIDROGRÁFICA “RIO TUXPAN”, CON EQUIPO MULTIHAZ, MONOHAZ, dGPS SATELITAL, SENSORES DE MOVIMIENTO, SOFTWARES HIDROGRAFICOS Y CARTOGRAFICOS, ETC. LEVANTAMIENTOS HIDROGRAFICOS

RASTER BSB ENC S-57 PAPEL PARA LA ELABORACIÓN DE LA CARTOGRAFÍA NÁUTICA, TANTO DE PAPEL, COMO EN FORMATO RASTER Y ELECTRÓNICA S-57, SE UTILIZAN LOS PRODUCTOS DE CARIS, ESTO ES CARIS GIS PARA PRODUCIR CARTAS DE PAPEL DIGITALES Y CARTAS NÁUTICAS RASTER; CARIS HOM PARA LA ELABORACIÓN DE LAS CARTAS NÁUTICAS ELECTRÓNICAS S-57 Y PARA EL PROCESO DE LA INFORMACIÓN OBTENIDA DE LOS LEVANTAMIENTOS HIDROGRÁFICOS CARIS HIPS Y SIPS. In the office informal Nautical Cartography training

SE ENCUENTRA EN PROCESO DE IMPLEMENTACION LA “BASE DE DATOS HIDROGRAFICA”, (HPD DE CARIS), ESTA BASE PERMITIRA ELABORAR LA CARTOGRAFIA A DIFERENTES ESCALAS QUE SE SOLICITEN O DE LAS AREAS DE INTERES. PERMITIRA TAMBIEN, TENER CAPACIDAD DE ACTUALIZACION DE LA CARTOGRAFIA DE MANERA EXPEDITA, LLEGANDO LA INFORMACION HIDROGRAFICA Y CORRIGIENDO DESDE LA BASE DE DATOS. SE TENDRA LA CAPACIDAD DE ELABORAR DE FORMA CASI AUTOMATICA CARTAS DE PAPEL, Y CARTAS NAUTICAS ELECTRONICAS S-57 ACTUALMENTE LA BASE DE DATOS SE ESTA CARGANDO SOLO CON LAS CNE S-57, QUE HAN SIDO VALIDADAS Y PROBADAS POR IC-ENC, CON LA FINALIDAD DE GARANTIZAR LA CALIDAD. 1: : : CARTOGRAFIA NAUTICA
