Introduction
1.1 Background
Indonesia is an archipelago with most of its territory being the sea. Therefore, for shipping
logistics needs in each region, use sea transportation. not only in Indonesia, but also
international trade using the sea as a means of transportation.
With so much benefit from the sea as a means of transportation. however, as we know, the
state of the sea is very randomly different from that on land. especially related to bathymetry
conditions near the coast. of course this will be dangerous for ships, if the depth of the water
near the coast is less than the draft ship. So as to create a safe shipping channel. Some
information is needed: water depth, seafloor shape and coastline, location of possible barriers,
and other physical features of water.
1.2 Hidrographic Survey
Hydrographic survey is an observation activity to get data of physical property under water.
hydrographic surveys obtain raw data, which is then later processed by an authority agency to
produce an information data that can be used by other parties. for example in sea navigation
navigation lines, marine construction, sediment dredging, and various other activities.
Some important things that need to be known from the results of hydrographic survey data
include, tide riding, bathymetry depth, current patterns, coastlines, and underwater layers.
by knowing the characteristics of the marine environment, it will be known the appropriate
treatment methods in

Lab Excursion
2.1 Introduction
On Tuesday, October 15th 2019, students from Data Acquisition and Analysis Mr.Alam’s class
went to attend a Laboratory Excursion. On that day, a lot of tools necessary for hydrographic
survey were shown, such as:
Figure 2 SVP
Sound Velocity Sensor is a device that is used for measuring the speed of sound,
specifically in a body of water. A Sound Velocity Profiler measures the speed of sound
throughout the column of water. Sound velocity in water is measured by either using a small
acoustic signal which is sent to a receiver at a known distance or by measuring the variables
affecting sound velocity in water; salinity, temperature and pressure variables.
This device consists Probe, Cable (50 meters long) which connect the robe to the display
control), and Logger or Display control. Before we using it we have to calibrate the device, this
could be done with placing the SVP one meter below water and change data in logger so it could
fit with one meter display. Calibration is important to avoid data error and have to be setting up
every time SVP will be used.

2.4 GPS Geodetic RTK
RTK stands for Real-Time Kinematic is more advanced
technology than GPS. RTK allows the user to obtain
centimeter-level positioning in real time. It is an automatic
instrument that automatically measures positions during a
certain time interval. This instrument can measure
deformations based on the data from the transmitted signal.
RTK is used for applications that require higher accuracy,
such as centimeter level positioning, accuracy up to 1 cm +
1 ppm.

2.5 GPS Map Sounder
GPS Map Sounder is a tool that functions to measure and display the depth of water. fishermen
are often used to detect fish. The output produced from this tool is the position and depth of the
water. in addition to measurement, this tool is also equipped with MAAS GPS to determine its
position and a transducer to measure its depth. In this oportunity, we use Garmin that combine
chart plotter, GPS and depth-sounder equipped with a bright, five-inch-diagonal color TFT display.
The system's external antenna-housed GPS receiver uses all visible GPS satellites and, in addition,
employs information from Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) satellites

2.10 Gyrocompass
A Gyro compass is a form of gyroscope, used widely on ships employing an electrically
powered, fast-spinning gyroscope wheel and frictional forces among other factors utilising the
basic physical laws, influences of gravity and the Earth’s rotation to find the true north.
Gyro compasses are linked to the repeater compasses via one transmission system. The
fast-spinning rotor attached weighs from 1.25 pounds to 55 pounds. It is driven thousands of
revolutions per minute by another electric motor. However, the most essential part in a Gyro
compass system is the spinning wheel, which is known as the Gyroscope.
Gyro compasses are pre-eminently used in most ships in order to detect true north, steer,
and find positions and record courses. But due to the ship’s course, speed and latitude, there
could appear some steaming errors. It has been found that on Northerly courses the Gyro
compass north is slightly deflected to the West of the true meridian whereas on Southerly
courses it is deflected to the East.

3.2. 1 Aim
The Outcome of this post are:

3.2.2.2 AWAC
Acoustic Wave and Current is a device that could performs three measurement by measuring wave
height, wave direction and the full current profile. It usually measures current speed and direction
in one meter thick layers from the bottom to the surface. From specification it displays ability to
measure waves of all varieties from 1 to 100 meters including long waves, storm waves, short wind
waves, or transient waves generated by local ship traffic. AWAC usually placed on seabed with
built-up structure as placement. AWAC working in time series data with ability to receive at least
1024 data within 15 minutes of works.
AWAC is designed as a coastal monitoring system. It is small, rugged, and suitable for multi-year
operation in tough environments. The mechanical design is all plastic and titanium to avoid
corrosion. The AWAC is available in three transmit frequencies (1 MHz / 600 kHz /400
kHz) which allow for different deployment depths. The sensor is usually mounted in a frame on the
bottom, where it is protected from complications at the surface such as harsh weather,
vandalism, and ship traffic. While safely located at the bottom it is operated in online or in stand-
alone mode. In stand-alone mode, the raw data are stored to the internal data logger and power
comes from an external battery pack.
3.2.3.1 CTD
Using CTD involves mapping the ocean floor and water column while the ship is underway, and
using other sensors to measure chemical and physical properties of seawater. Water column
exploration involves making measurements of chemical and physical properties “from top to
bottom” while the ship is stopped. In some cases these measurements may be made routinely at
preselected locations, while in other cases they may be made to decide whether an area with
suspected anomalies should be more thoroughly investigated. Site characterization involves more
detailed exploration of a specific region, including obtaining high quality imagery, making
measurements of chemical and physical seawater properties, and obtaining appropriate
samples.Standard oceanographic sampling technique is the vertical CTD cast. First, the scientists
select a location of interest. The ship then travels to that position and stays as close to the same
19
spot as possible depending on the weather and the ship’s basic capabilities) as the CTD package
is lowered through the water, usually to within a few meters of the bottom, then raised back to the
ship. The ship can then move to a different position and repeat the process. Hydrothermal plumes
are typically located a few hundred meters above the ocean bottom, which over most of the world
mid ocean ridge system averages 3000 meters deep. Therefore, much of the water overlying the
hydrothermal vent fields is of little interest to the plume-hunting scientist. By lowering the CTD
package to near the bottom, then moving the ship while cycling the package up and down only
through the bottom few hundred meters, a far greater density of data can be obtained. This
technique was dubbed a CTD "Tow-yo" and has proven to be an efficient and effective method for
mapping and sampling hydrothermal plumes. Conductivity can change depending on the
amount of dissolved solids in a sample of water, but there is also a very small temperature
and pressure dependence. Generally, conductivity of one water mass will be consistent.
Conductivity is measured in Siemens per meter (S/m), which is the conductance of a
substance. Conductance is an object’s ability to pass or conduct an electrical current.
Salinity is the amount of dissolved salts in water. Salinity is usually determined as a
ratio of the measured conductivity to the conductivity of a specific known concentration of
dissolved ions. Salinity was formally expressed as ppt (parts per thousand, i.e. grams of
dissolved salts per kilogram of seawater), but PSU (Practical Salinity Units) is considered
more accurate as it considers more variables. PSU and ppt are nearly the same, and can
be considered a reasonable approximation for one another. Temperature is measured in
degrees Celsius (°C), and can now be determined accurately to 3 decimal places.
Temperature readings will be heavily dependent on where the CTD measures in the Ocean.
As depth increases, temperatures become colder. At higher latitudes, seawater is colder,
and at lower latitudes seawater is warmer. Fixed CTDs detect changes in temperature that
indicate changes in water masses. Pressure is measured in decibars, which are very nearly
equivalent to meters of depth. For example, 550 decibars can be reasonably approximated
as 550 meters of depth. Density is expressed as kilograms per meter squared (kg/m3).
Density typically increases as temperature decreases and salinity increases. Warm, fresh
water will have a lower density than cold salty water. When a CTD is in a fixed position,
fluctuations in density usually reflect a change in the water mass.

3.2.3.2 AWAC
An acoustic current meter is a set of transducers fixed in a frame. Acoustic current meters are used
to measure the velocity and direction of currents and waves. They do this using a technique called
“reciprocal transmission.” typical acoustic current meter will transmit a 1 Mhz acoustic signal in
pulses or continuous wave bursts along 4 paths. Flow velocity and direction is measured by
observing the time-of-arrival difference of sound along the acoustic paths. A sound pulse moving
in the same direction as a current travels faster than one moving against the current.
compass is used to measure the earth’s magnetic field, and a tilt sensor measures the instrument’s
angle. Using these measurements, the direction of the instrument can be determined and
consequently the flow direction. Additional pressure data can be obtained to determine the depth
of the current.
The measurement of currents with sound depends on the doppler effect. The Doppler effect is a
change in frequency of a sound due to the motion of the source of the sound relative to the listener.
sends out a sound that reflects off small particles and returns to the AWAC. If those particles are
in a current, then those particles are moving with the current. There will be a Doppler shift in the
frequency of the sound that reflects off the small particles and returns to the AWAC. That Doppler
shift can be used to calculate the current speed. Most AWACs have 3 or 4 sound sources that work
together. By using several sources, the AWAC can tell the direction of the current as well as its
speed. The AWAC can also tell at what depths in the water column the current is moving by how
long it takes the sound to return to the AWAC.
3.3 Second Post : Single Beam Echosounder, Magnetometer and Sub-Bottom Profiler
3.4. 1 Aim
The outcomes of this post are:
2. To locate sunken ships, lost anchors, buried pipelines, and other submerged objects which
contain ferrous metal using a magnetometer
3. To identify and characterize piled up layers of sediment or rock under the seafloor using a sub-bottom
profiler
21
3.4. 2 Basic Theory
3.3.2.1 Echosounder
Echo sounding is used to determine the depth of water by transmitting sound waves by
transducer into water and then receiving the reflected sound waves from the seabed.
This activity is done using Sonar, Transducer and GPS.There are two kinds of sonar that
can be used, the first one is single beam echosounders that only able to release one beam
at a time. The second sonar that is now commonly used is multi beam echosounder that
is able to release multiple beams at a time. To measure the depth, multiply the time and
speed of sound then divide it by two, because the time we receive is time spent by sound
waves back and forth. The speed of sound underwater, in general, is around 1500m/s.
But for more precise applications of echo sounding such as hydrography, the speed of
sound must also be measured by deploying a sound velocity probe into the water. Most
charted ocean depths use an average or standard sound speed. For even better precision,
average and seasonal standards may be applied to ocean regions and more measurements
may be required, such as the temperature, pressure and salinity. This information is then
used to determine the sound speed underwater. Additional information such as heave,
pitch, roll of the vessel can be measured and used to “correct” the position of the depth
measurements during processing.
• Prepare the ship that has been equipped with transducer, GPS, and sonar box
connected to a PC.
• Calibrate the sound wave speed using bar-check tools down to approximately 10
meter down.
• After the ship is in position, click Logging to start recording the data acquired.
Accordingly, the monitor will display the status of the seabed which is being surveyed.
• After the survey is finished, click End Logging on the toolbar. The data is saved
to the PC storage.
3.3.2.2 Magnetometer
A magnetometer is an instrument that measure magnetism of a magnetic material like a
ferromagnet, or the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a particular
location. Magnetometers can be used as metal detectors. They can only detect magnetic (ferrous)
metals, but they also can detect such metals at a much larger depth than conventional metal
detectors
Magnetometers may be classified by their situation or intended use:
1. Stationary magnetometer is installed to a fixed position and measurements are taken while
the magnetometer is stationary.
2. Portable or mobile magnetometer is meant to be used while in motion and may be manually
carried or transported in a moving vehicle.
Survey magnetometers are used to measure magnetic fields in geomagnetic surveys. Survey
magnetometers can be divided into two basic types:
1. Total field magnetometers or scalar magnetometers measure the magnitude of the vector
magnetic field. They measure the total strength of the magnetic field to which they are subjected,
but not its direction.
23
2. Vector magnetometers measure the vector components of a magnetic field. They have the
capability to measure the component of the magnetic field in a particular direction, relative to the
spatial orientation of the device.
Magnetometers can also be classified as:
1. “AC”, if they measure fields that fluctuate in time (>100 Hz).
2. “DC”, if they measure fields that vary only slowly or are static. DC magnetometers are
used for detecting mineralization and corresponding geological structures.
3.3.2.3 Sub Bottom Profiler
Acoustic Sub-Bottom Profiling (SBP) systems are used to determine physical properties of the sea
floor and to image and characterise geological information a few metres below the sea floor.
In recent years, sub-bottom profilers have been used to measure small scale sedimentary structures
and processes in high temporal and spatial resolution. The systems have been widely adopted by
marine researchers because of their ability to collect data rapidly and non-intrusively.
The acoustic pulse is a high frequency system which operates on a range of single frequencies
between 3.5 kHz and 7 kHz. Depending on various factors, such as the type of sediment and the
sound source characteristics (frequency, power), SBPs can achieve sea floor penetration from just
a few meters to more than 50 m and vertical resolution (layer thickness) down to approximately
0.3 m.
24
Figure 14 Software used for bathymetry survey
The recording of water depth gives high-resolution depth measurement along the survey
track. Data collected after echosounding is added by precise positional information,
including the coordinates and time. This information is then typically used for navigation
purposes or for charting purposes, including bathymetry and substrate classification.
25
3.5.2.2 Magnetometer
Magnetometer is the best tool for locating all sizes of ferrous objects including anchors,
chains, cables, pipelines, ballast and other scattered shipwreck debris, aircraft, engines and
any other magnetic objects that disrupt the Earth’s magnetic field.
The survey vessel tows the magnetometer at a slow speed and stays within 152 centimetres
of the intended survey line to minimize uncertainties in the location of the towed sensor.
Small or deeply buried metal objects are detected by surveying along closely-spaced lines
and keeping the towed sensor as close to the seafloor as possible. A magnetograph is a
magnetometer that records data continuously. The results of the surveys are then exported
in industry-standard formats, for example ASCII and AutoCAD.
As the sound energy passes through different materials (sands, clays, mud) some of that
energy is reflected back towards the tow-fish. Based on the intensity of the returning signal
and the time it took to return to the fish, we get an image of how thick the sediment package
is at a given location, and what that package might be able to tell us about the site.

3.4.2.1 Wild Nak 2 (Manual Levelling)
The NAK2 is economical and productive waterpass for
levelling task on building sites for geodetic control at all
levels of accuracy. Features of the Wild NAK2 are:
The model NAK2 has an internal glass circle which is read via a scale microscope and can be set
to any value by turning the rim around the base of the instrument. The durable and tough NAK2
can be used in varying weather conditions and very reliable when used in harsh working conditions
such as the building site. The pendulum compensator is protected against shocks and the vibration
damping mechanism is highly effective. Set up is quick and easy with the circular level only
needing to be centered approximately and bring the compensator into its working range. The
Pentaprism provides a positive bubble which is monitored down the eyepiece. The high quality
optics within the telescope provides bright, high contrast images which can be foccussed on
quickly. Accessories including the parallel-plate, laser eyepiece, increase the potential use of this
impressive levelling instrument.
28
3.4.2.2 Sprinter (Digital levelling)
The Sprinter 250m is the top of the range in the sprinter series
and ideal for both building & construction levelling task. Simply
set the benchmark then measure the backsight (B) & foresight (F)
which will then display the result instantly. The Sprinter 250m it
comes with a simple UI (user interface) and many features such
as:
Figure 21 Sprinter
1. Height and delta heights calculated automatically
2. Productivity increased
3. Human errors set to a minimum
4. Works in poor light conditions
5. USB functionality
6. Built-in Memory
Figure 22 Sprinter
7. Easy to use menu
With its precise optical components the instrument be aimed at the target, focused on the staff and
then used as an optical level. With the simple one-button action the Sprinter 250M doesn’t need
any in depth training. Simply press the action button and take the required measurement. Optical
readings are no longer required. The bar code staff determines the distance and height which is
then shown on the LCD display screen avoiding any misunderstanding. The Sprinter 250M will
display calculations for Delta Height, Cut and Fill, Line levelling and Tracking & Monitoring.
For levelling measurement, put the waterpass on the tripod and place the the tripod on benchmark.
Before we do the levelling measurement, we must calibrate the waterpass and this process called
collimation
3.4.3.1 Calibration/Collimation
Collimation is a process to checking the accuracy of the levelling instrument by comparing to the
benchmark point. This process to ensure the results are accurate and consistent if we do the some
measurement in the next step. The step for collimation are as follow:
29
a. Do some check trial of the distance twice. First, 10 & 10 meter method and 15 & 5 meter
method. On each method, the first distance is front (face) point and second distance is back
point.
b. On 15 & 5 meter method, first we must measure 15 meter far as face point on the ground
manually.
c. Then, put the stanbak/ruler at that point perpendicular to the earth surface
30
d. Determine the upper, middle and lower string from the waterpass
Upper string
Middle string
Lower string
Figure 25 Our friend seeing the string at ruler by waterpass Figure 26 Upper, middle and lower string
31
3.4.3.2 Measurement
1.Go to the place that we will measure its elevation with taking the leveling rod.
2. Put the leveling rod perpendicular to the earth surface and hold it.
4. Read and note the upper limit and lower limit at the leveling rod.
5. Do the calculation for measure the elevation and distance between level and the place.
If you use the digital level, you can know the distance and elevation of the place in the monitor display of
the level.
Corelated with the output of post 1 that show the depth of the sea around the survey zone. But the
data is still row , so that why we must consider the tidal range . the tidal range must be recorded at
least around 30 days that must be checked every hour . After we get the data , we can analyze and
all datum can be known by least square method. Furthermore,we can combine with depth data at
the post 1 and finally we can draw the batimetric map as the result of the survey. To determine
position of levelling road must suitable with the tide and ebb.
Leveling rod is an instrument that used with a level to determine the difference in height between
points or heights of points above a datum surface. Leveling rod can made of wood or aluminum.
We use Pushidoral’s aluminum leveling rod in this field trip
32
The leveling rod can be extended up to 3 meters. Leveling rod is like a ruler, but the reading
method is different to ruler. So, we need to know how to read the leveling rod because it is so
important when we do levelling.
17 dm 1 cm
In this post, we were taught how to do surveying with optics utilities. This included learn how to
calculate distance and angle, positioning coordinates, and mapping. The utilities used in this post
is called a Total Station. It’s like an integrated system consists of theodolite and prisms.
Theodolite is one measure of land used to determine the height of the land with horizontal and
vertical angles. Unlike waterpass which only has a horizontal angle. In the theodolite the readable
angle can reach the second unit. Basically this tool is a telescope that is placed on a rounded base
that can be rotated around a vertical axis, allowing horizontal angles to be read. The telescope is
also mounted on the second dish and can be rotated around the horizontal axis, allowing vertical
angles to be read.
33
Surveys using theodolite are conducted if the site to be mapped is large and difficult to measure,
and especially if the site has a large relief or height difference. In works related to land
measurement, theodolite us often used in the form of polygon measurements, situation mapping,
and solar observation. Theodolite can also change its function to be like a flat-folding plane if the
vertical angle is made 90o.
With binoculars in the theodolite, the theodolite can be aimed in all directions. In building works,
theodolite is often used to determine the right angle in the planning or foundation work, theodolite
can also be used to measure the height of a high rise building.
The total station is a tool used in mapping and building construction. The glimpse of the shape for
ordinary people, but the total station is an automatic distance and angle measurement tool
(horizontal and vertical angles). Total station is equipped with a memory chip, so angular and
distance measurement data can be stored for later download and computational processing. The
total station is a kind of theodolite integrated with an electronic distance meter (EDM) component
to read the distance and slope of the instrument to a certain point.
Benefit of total station there are : (1) reducing errors (from humans) as well as read erros and data
recording error. (2) accessibility to computer-based system. (3) Speed up the process. (4) provides
convenience. And also, the total station have several disadvantages, there are : (1) the cost is more
expensive than ordinary conventional tools. (2) there is a dependence on voltage sources. (3)
dependence on the ability of existing human resources.
This tool is used to measure distances, angles, position coordinates without using satellite GPS, or
also commonly called the terestic method. This method is done manually by measuring the points,
so that to map an area with this method will take quite a long time. but this method still has
34
advantages, for example if we want to map an area that is prohibited from using GPS, then the
mapping can only be done with this terestic method.
and also requires high accuracy from a surveyor, the data to be obtained are distance, horizontal
angle, and vertical angle. for data collection, two theodolite EDM tools and a prism are needed as
a measurement point. in mapping, there are a number of things that must be considered, namely
that two points must be known as datum to set the north direction and determine the azimuth. The
following is the procedure for using the device: (1) Enter coordinates. (2) Arrange 'stick' at the
specified point. (3) Point the 'stick' with the gauge. (4) At a distance of 400-500 meters, this utility
can still be used.
After getting the data, we enter it into the formula. Formula with azimuth:

4.2 Group Mates Evaluation
1. The formation of groups is not from the beginning, so the process is too late.
2. We worked on this report too tightly with deadlines, so that we worked out evenly, and worked
individually. then we put it together online communication.
3. Some of us aren't very fast when discussing through online group media channels. so
communication is not so fast.
