... soundings given on a nautical chart... are relative to the chart's datum, rather than the water's surface.... Soundings are measured from chart datum, which is usually the lowest level you can expect the tide to reach. This means that any amount of tide should increase the depth of water, making it safer for navigation. 2, record 1, English, - sounding

Ratio charts are also called semilogarithmic or semilog charts. This particular chart is designed with an arithmetic scale (equal-unit scale) along the X axis, and one or more logarithmic cycles along the Y axis. ... The general principles and mechanical details of drawing the data points and the data path are identical to the procedures for any line chart. 5, record 5, English, - ratio%20chart
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The interpretation of information mapped onto a semilog(ratio) chart is, therefore, somewhat different from the ordinary arithmetic line graph. The important difference is this : the slope of the data path on a ratio chart reveals the rate(percentage change) at which the Y variable is changing per unit of X.... the ratio chart(semilogarithmic variety) is measuring percentage change in the Y variable only. Since the X scale is arithmetic, changes in the X portion of the data path are arithmetic, not ratio(or percentage) changes. Semilog(ratio) charts are usually employed to graph data... when a Y variable changes by a large amount in a relatively short range of the X variable. 5, record 5, English, - ratio%20chart

A vast amount of sea ice information is today available at the various ice services in the world. Almost all of this information is stored in the form of ice charts for operational purposes. For statistical or climatological use the chart format is however not convenient and the information needs to be digitized. This is done by assigning numerical values to the ice parameters and to read these values at given grid points on the chart. The charts prepared by the various ice services do not all contain the same number of parameters. The resolution and accuracy also vary according to the use for which the charts are intended. A large degree of flexibility has therefore to be built into the design of both code, format and grid. It should allow digitization of historical ice charts as well as current ones in order to obtain a comprehensive computer-compatible sea ice data bank which is currently updated. The SIGRID format is mainly designed to meet larger scale climate requirements but it may also be used by national services for other purposes. 1, record 11, English, - Format%20for%20Gridded%20Sea%20Ice%20Information
