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

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.

Impulsive or transient sounds of short duration and of high intensity constitute one of the criteria for defining good ecological status for descriptor 11 relating to the pressure of noise generated by human activities within the framework of the MSFD (D11C1). Good ecological status for sound energy is achieved when the risks of acoustic disturbance, excess mortality from sound exposure and reduction in communication distances of mysticetes are cumulatively low or moderate. For this, the spatial distribution, the temporal extent and the acoustic levels of the sources of anthropogenic impulsive sound must not exceed the levels harmful to the populations of marine animals. These criteria are evaluated at the scale of the marine sub-region for the “English Channel and North Sea”, “Celtic Seas” and “Western Mediterranean” regions; and at the scale of the "North" and "South" subdivisions in the "Bay of Biscay" sub-region. One of the indicators selected for the evaluation of criterion D11C1 is the distribution of the acoustic levels of impulsive emissions (D11C1.3). The pressures considered for the evaluation of the criterion are: acoustic emissions from air guns ; acoustic emissions from impulsive sources other than air guns ; emissions from non-impulsive (transient) sources ; underwater explosions ; emissions due to pile driving. The data used for the calculation of this indicator are declarative emissions data traced by the operators of the activities generating impulsive noise.

RasterMarine is a series of digital images taken from nautical charts, with no additions, legends or georeferencing information. The RasterMarine range is available at five sets of scales: - RasterMarine 20 1: 20,000 - RasterMarine 50 1: 50,000 - RasterMarine 150 1: 150,000 - RasterMarine 400 1: 400,000 - RasterMarine 1M 1: 1,000,000. Unless exceptional circumstances apply, the RasterMarine range is updated on a weekly basis and the modified grid squares are re-published, replacing the previous versions. All corrections, publications and editions with an effect on the reference nautical charts are taken into consideration. <br /> 13/03/2025 version <br />

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 « Maritime Spatial Planning » product contains 2D areas vector objects representing the extent of the maritime spatial plan (« MSP Spatial Plan » layer) and the extent of the corresponding vocation zones (« MSP Zoning Element » layer), defined in each strategic façade document.

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.

The bathymetric DEM of the atlantic facade with a resolution of 0.001° (~ 100 m) was prepared as part of the HOMONIM project. It encompasses part of the North Sea, the Channel and the Bay of Biscay. Offshore, this DTM extends beyond the slope to approximately 4800 m depth. The DEM is designed to be used in hydrodynamic models in order to produce high-precision forecasts for coastal water levels and sea conditions and therefore improve the pertinence of the Waves-Submersion monitoring programme. This product is available with the Lowest Astronomic Tide (LAT) or the Mean Sea Level (MSL) as a vertical datum.

The coastal topo-bathymetric DTM of the Arcachon basin and its surroundings at a resolution of 0.0002° (~ 20 m) was produced as part of the HOMONIM project. The DTM covers the coastline of a part of the Gironde department, from the Carcans and Hourtin ponds in the North, to the Cazaux and Sanguinet lakes in the South. It covers the entire Arcachon basin and extends offshore to about 40 m depth. The DTM is intended to be implemented in hydrodynamic models in order to produce accurate forecasts of water heights and sea states at the coast and to improve the French storm surge warning system. This product is available with the Lowest Astronomic Tide (LAT) or with the Mean Sea Level (MSL) as a vertical datum.
