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

Hourly water level forecasts (Sea surface levelabove mean se level and meteorological surges) are computed by 2D barotropic hydrodynamic models (HYCOM 2D and Tolosa-SW). The data cover French coastal areas: Atlantic/English Channel/North Sea, Mediterranean, Antilles-Guyane and Indian Ocean (Mayotte, Reunion Island). Spatial resolution ranges from several kilometers offshore to up to 100 m near the coasts.

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

The coastal topo- bathymetric DEM for the coasts of the Saint-Jean-de-Luz bay with a resolution of 0.0002° (~ 20 m) was prepared as part of the TANDEM project. It covers Saint-Jean-de-Luz bay and the surrounding area. The DEM is designed to be implemented in the hydrodynamic models of the TANDEM project in order to estimate the coastal effects of tsunamis for the Atlantic and English Channel, where French nuclear power plants have been installed for about 30 years. This product is available with the Lowest Astronomic Tide (LAT) or the Mean Sea Level (MSL) as a vertical datum.

Bathymetric datasets are an extraction of surveys belonging to the Shom public database. For depth up to 50m, the vertical precision of soundings varies from 30cm to 1m and the horizontal precision varies from 1 to 20m. In deep ocean, the vertical precision is mainly around 1 or 2% of the bottom depth. It is sometimes more, it depends on the technology used. The data are referenced to ZH which is assimilated to LAT. Data are corrected for sound velocity variations. <br /> October 27 2025 version

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 product "BathyElli surfaces v2.1" contains the surface realisation of the ellipsoidal height at the reference date of 1 January 2000 of the characteristic tidal levels corresponding to : - Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT): "BathyElli v2.1 HAT / ell" ; - Mean Sea Levels (MSL): "BathyElli v2.1 MSL / ell"; - Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT): "BathyElli v2.1 LAT / ell"; - Chart Datum (CD) vertical sea level reference for each tidal zone: "BathyElli v2.1 HZ / ell".

The "Magnetic Stations" product contains measurements from magnetic reference stations deployed by the French Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (SHOM) near marine magnetic survey areas. Measurement files are available by station and by year. These magnetic reference measurements correct marine measurements for diurnal and high-frequency variations in the Earth's magnetic field.

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. <br /> February 17 2026 version
