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

Litto3D provides 3D, continuous sea-land description of French coastal areas. Data is acquired by airborne topo-bathymetric LiDARs. Litto3D products come in 3D point clouds and digital terrain models formats. The product "Litto3D - Nouvelle-Aquitaine 2020-2022" covers the geographical area from the Charente-Maritime to the Spanish border. For the maritime part, the data produced by Shom extend offshore down to signal extinction, approximatively 20 depth when environmental conditions are optimal. On land, the data are truncated at a limit that ensures the product retain its coastal character.

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.

This product includes all Shom digital files for tidal currents on mainland French coasts (Channel and Atlantic coasts) in mesh format. These digital files indicate surface tidal current components, hour by hour and for two typical tidal coefficients (45 and 95) and maximum current speeds for a mean spring tide. Brest is taken as the reference port for viewing purposes. The current points included in these files correspond to the arrows shown on current atlases.

The product "Wrecks and obstructions" contains a description of wrecks and obstructions in the French Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) as 2D point objects. Objects of the product "Wrecks and obstructions" are divided into 2 classes: - Wrecks (WRECKS): all or part of a stranded or sunken ship or aircraft; - Obstructions (OBSTRN): object of an artificial nature other than a wreck (for example: container, lost anchor). This product does not concern floating or drifting objects (containers, debris, buoys out of position, ...) which position changes rapidly.

The “French sub-rectangles of the ICES fishery statistical rectangles” product contains 2D areas vector objects representing a sub-rectangle division of ICES statistical rectangles. Each product polygon belongs to an unique ICES rectangle. This subdivision enables distinction between overlapping areas in two or more EEZs, areas of functional interest and areas of regulatory interest.

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 update of the coastal topo-bathymetric DEM of the Pertuis charentais at a resolution of 0.0002° (~ 20 m) was carried out in the third phase of the HOMONIM project. The DEM extends from the terrestrial domain to about 60 meters depth over all the pertuis (pertuis Breton, pertuis d’Antioche and pertuis of Maumusson). The DEM is intended to be implemented in hydrodynamic models in order to produce forecasts as accurate as possible of water heights and sea states at the coast to improve the relevance of the Wave-Submergence Vigilance. This product is available with either the Lowest Astronomic Tide (LAT) or the Mean Sea Level (MSL) as a vertical reference.

The "Military practice areas" product contains vector data in the form of 2D surface objects describing the military practice areas in the France sector represented on Zonex variants of nautical charts. This is the S-57 MIPARE object class (military practice areas): maritime zone within which military, naval or air exercises can take place.
