 The
NOS MapFinder service
provides "one stop shopping" for images and
data from a number of National Ocean Service (NOS) offices.
The cornerstone of NOS MapFinder is a robust set of products
available directly from the Web. These products are offered
by theme (e.g., coastal aerial photography, low resolution
nautical charts, coastal survey maps, environmental sensitivity
index atlases, hydrographic survey outlines, historical
maps, water level station data, geodetic control points,
and estuarine bathymetry data). Products are accessed
through a spatial inventory that locates and describes
all data that NOS possesses for each theme. This allows
for greater flexibility to identify specific products
at regional, state, and local scales. Finally, accompanying
each theme are explanatory information and metadata intended
to help users better understand specific products, their
sources, methods, quality, and usefulness. |
