Many of the attempts to introduce a universal hydrographic binary data format have failed or have been only partially successful. In essence, this is because such formats either have to simplify the data to such an extent that they only support the lowest common subset of all the formats covered, or they attempt to be a superset of all formats and quickly become cumbersome. Neither choice works...

Water mass transformation in the North Atlantic is examined in an eddy-permitting simulation with the OCCAM ocean general circulation model, forced by realistic surface fluxes over the period 1985–2002. Three Atlantic regions are considered – the subtropics, mid-latitudes, the northeast Atlantic – along with the Labrador Sea. The oceanic boundaries of each region coincide with hydrographic sect...

We propose a framework for object extraction with accurate boundaries. A multilayer perceptron is used to identify seed points through examples, and regions are extracted and localized using a locally coupled network with weight adaptation. A functional system has been developed and applied to hydrographic region extraction from Digital Orthophoto Quarter–Quadrangle images.
