  • 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 20 : minimum tidal range for average atmospheric conditions..

  • 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.

  • 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, 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 provided by 2 different models: ARPEGE for global and european regional scale (0.25° to 0.1° resolutions, respectively) ; AROME for mainland France (1.3 km resolution) and AROME Outre-Mer for overseas areas (2.5 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. 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 (ECMWF, Aladin, Hirlam) cooperation programmes on the basis of the Méso-NH research model and the dynamic core of the Aladin model. AROME Outre-Mer is a non-hydrostatic spectral model for the overseas areas (Antilles, Guyane, Réunion-Mayotte). Unlike AROME France, this regional model does not have its own assimilation. The model is forced by IFS (16km resolution, ECMWF) for initial altitude conditions and by ARPEGE for initial surface conditions. It was developed by Météo-France.

  • The update of the coastal topo-bathymetric DEM of the Gironde estuary - downstream with a resolution of 0.0002° (~ 20 m) was carried out in the third phase of the HOMONIM project. This DEM covers the downstream part of the Gironde estuary, from Pauillac to its mouth. It is complementary to the DEM covering the upstream estuary. 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.

  • 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..

  • This product includes the boundaries of tidal zones for French Channel, Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts in shapefile format. Information on the characteristics of tidal zones is available as part of the "Maritime Altimetric Reference Values" product.

  • Sea bed sediment maps for the 4 marine sub-regions prepared as part of the initial evaluation of the MSFD (Marine Strategy Framework Directive).

  • Geographic information layer including the Limit of maritime affairs - mainland France, French Guiana, Martinique and Guadeloupe. This layer must be considered as an initial version to be validated locally by the competent services. Shom actively seeks out any information which could complete and improve the precision of this layer. The streams and rivers listed correspond to those mentioned in the applicable regulations and/or by a competent Government service. An inventory of existing legal and geographic information was drawn up prior to production in the form of an enquiry targeting services during the second half of 2014. The source legal text and a summary of digital conversion processes is available for each boundary proposed.Updated july 2018
