Depth is a property referring to how deep a feature is according to charted depth, measured in metres. For shallow depths, such as some fords, a decimal value will be needed - e.g. 0.05 for 5 cm. In most cases, the depth of a feature in the ocean is referred to LAT (Lowest Astronomical Tide). For rivers, canals, and inland lakes this might be different. Rivers and canals with water level gauges will have a defined zero value where depths should be referred. For more background information, see Water Depth.
Seamarks
When depth=* is used with Seamarks, you may want to add these additional tags, which correspond to attributes from IHO S-57:
Source Quality (QUASOU
)
OSM Value | S-57 Index | S-57 Long Value |
---|---|---|
known | 1 | depth known |
2 | depth unknown - You should never use this value, just omit the depth=* tag | |
doubtful | 3 | doubtful sounding |
unreliable | 4 | unreliable sounding |
no_bottom | 5 | no bottom found at value shown |
least_depth_known | 6 | least depth known |
least_depth_unknown | 7 | least depth unknown, safe clearance at value shown |
not_surveyed | 8 | value reported (not surveyed) |
not_confirmed | 9 | value reported (not confirmed) |
maintained | 10 | maintained depth |
not_maintained | 11 | not regularly maintained |
Accuracy (SOUACC
)
This field is a number, in metres, such as 0.6. The error is assumed to be positive and negative. The plus/minus character shall not be encoded. |
Exposition (EXPSOU
)
OSM Value | S-57 Index | S-57 Long Value |
---|---|---|
within_range | 1 | within the range of depth of the surrounding depth area |
shoaler | 2 | shoaler than the range of depth of the surrounding depth area |
deeper | 3 | deeper than the range of depth of the surrounding depth area |
