  • The DTM is a compilation of multibeam echosounder surveys acquired in 2013. The resolution is 1/64 arc-minutes (~30m). Surveys are located on the Capbreton Submarine Canyon (France) with depths from -4.7m to -344.9m. Depths are referenced to the Lowest Astronomical Tide and the coordinates are expressed into the WGS84 reference frame. The surveys which compose the DTM are S201306500-09 and S201306500-11. Data and metadata associated to these surveys are available on the website http://diffusion.shom.fr/pro/lots-bathy.html. The DTM is not to be used for navigation.

  • The regional bathymetric Atlantic – Channel – North-Sea DTM has a resolution of 0.001° (~111m). Its geographic coverage includes the Bay of Biscay, the English Channel and a part of the North Sea. The DTM extends from the coast to the continental slope (about of 4800m deep). This DTM is produced in the framework of the HOMONIM project which aims at improving operational forecast capabilities for the national coastal flood warning system. This DTM is offered openly on the Shom diffusion website (http://diffusion.shom.fr/produits/bathymetrie/mnt-facade-atl-homonim.html). http://dx.doi.org/10.17183/MNT_ATL100m_HOMONIM_WGS84

  • Tidal ranges on the French coasts of the Channel and the Atlantic for a coefficient of 95 : tidal range for mean neap tides for average atmospheric conditions..

  • Tidal ranges on the French coasts of the Channel and the Atlantic for a coefficient of 20 : minimum tidal range for average atmospheric conditions..

  • Weather forecasting models are used to show atmospheric conditions by computing changes in meteorological parameters on a 3D atmospheric grid model. Physical laws are used to determine behaviour: fluid mechanics, variation in water phase, turbulence, radiation, and atmospheric interaction with space, the continents and the oceans. The initial conditions are determined by assimilating variational data including a large volume and wide variety of in situ observations obtained from remote detection systems. The weather forecasts available on data.shom.fr only contain "wind at 10m" and "atmospheric pressure at sea level" parameters. A land/sea mask is then applied to exclude non-maritime forecasts. These forecasts are taken from 2 different types of models: ARPEGE for world and European scale input (0.5° to 0.1° resolution) and AROME for mainland France (1.3 km resolution). ARPEGE is a global hydrostatic spectral model, with variable horizontal resolution (centred on France), vertical finite element modelling and hybrid vertical coordinates. ARPEGE is an integral part of the Arpège-IFS software package, designed, developed and maintained by Météo-France in cooperation with ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts - http://www.ecmwf.int/). AROME is a non-hydrostatic spectral model for weather forecasts in mainland France, with finite difference modelling for vertical input and hybrid coordinates. AROME was developed by Météo-France thanks to close national (CNRS) and international (CEPMMT, Aladin, Hirlam) cooperation programmes on the basis of the Méso-NH research model and the dynamic core of the Aladin model.

  • The georeferenced digital image solution for the nautical chart is a digital conversion of the corresponding printed nautical chart produced by Shom or its legends, with georeferencing indications and including miscellaneous text.

  • The coastal topobathymetric DEM of Ré Island's surroundings, with a resolution of 0.00005° (~5 meters), was created by Shom as part of the HOMONIM-3 project. It covers the coast of the municipalities of Ars-en-Ré and Saint-Clément-des-Baleines, extending offshore to a depth of about 20 meters, to the west of the Phare des Baleines lighthouse. This DEM is designed for use in hydrodynamic models to enhance the modeling of coastal processes, particularly forecasting submersion risk. The product complements the coastal topobathymetric DEM of the Pertuis-Charentais, with a resolution of 0.0002° (~20 meters), and the bathymetric DEM of the Atlantic coast, with a resolution of 0.001° (~100 meters). It is available in the vertical reference of the Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) or the Mean Sea Level (MSL).

  • Non-georeferenced digital images in JPEG2000 format from former hydrographical survey fair sheets obtained from Shom's historical archives.

  • The “World Seabed Sediment Map” product contains geo-referenced digital data, describing the nature of the sediment encountered in different seas and oceans of the world. The objects are all surface areas and the description of an object includes in particular the nature of the sediment including rock-type bottoms.

  • The Shom uses a 2D barotropic version of the HYCOM code (https://hycom.org/) to compute water level /surge forecasts (astronomical tides and meteorological surges) for the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Antilles-Guyane and Indian Ocean domains. The configurations use curvilinear grid with resolutions of several km offshore and ranging from 1.5km to around 500m on the french mainland coasts and the Antilles-Guyana coast. A downscaling by nesting allows a resolution of 800m to 200m over the Indian domain. These models have been adapted by the Shom to be operable in coastal areas by taking into account, in particular, the tide and high resolution bathymetry in these areas (from 100m for DTMs of facade to 20m for coastal DTMs) using Litto3D surveys by airborne LIDAR. The models are operated by Météo-France and the Shom in the framework of the HOMONIM project for the coastal flood/wave warning system.
