EMODnet bathymetry is composed of a multitude of datasets from a multitude of data providers. Users of the resulting grid and associated datasets need to be able to evaluate at the grid node level the quality of the bathymetric data and product they will be using. For this EMODnet Bathymetry has introduced a Quality index (QI). The QI is available as a WFS service providing vector data and as WMS providing the QI as an image service. The aim of the quality index is to: • help data users to evaluate quickly the dataset they are about to request, • indicate to the EMODnet Basin coordinators what are the limitations of the dataset they are about to merge while building the EMODnet DTM and to • be used as the basis of the evaluation of the quality of the EMODnet DTM.

The download service for EMODnet Bathymetry Product tiles is a WMS service showing the graphical extent for all downloadable tiles of the EMODnet Bathymetry DTM. The service allows a user the query an individual tile. The GetFeatureInfo response of this action provides a list of the available data formats for the inquired tile.

The EMODnet Bathymetric Contours are available as a WFS service from EMODnet Bathymetry. Service URL is: https://ows.emodnet-bathymetry.eu/wfs The bathymetric contours of this layer are generated automatically based on the EMODnet DTM. New contour sets will be available for each consecutive update of the EMODnet DTM. The contours are generated by GGSgc BV using the proprietary GGSgc software.

The EMODnet Bathymetry World Coastline is available as a WFS service from EMODnet Bathymetry. The service URL is: https://ows.emodnet-bathymetry.eu/wfs. The layer contains vector lines derived from land polygons available from OpenStreetMap. The original source url is https://osmdata.openstreetmap.de/. Parts of these polygons have been modified for use in EMODnet Bathymetry. In addition to the OSM EMODnet default coastline, three sub-layers are available as part of the EMODnet world coastline service. These sub-layers contain the best-estimate coastlines for Europe determined by Dutch research institute Deltares from satellite data (typically Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8) and in combination with the Global Tide Surge Model (GTSM) processed into digital coastlines for the European seas at LAT (Lowest Astronomical Tide), MSL (Mean-Sea-Level), and MHW (Mean-High-Water). The level of detail is bound to the resolution of the satellite sensor (e.g. 10m for Sentinel-2). The latest December 2020 version now covers the entire coastline of Europe. A detailed paper is available describing the methodology used to determine the three versions of the satellite derived coastline: https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/sites/emodnet.ec.europa.eu/files/public/20201219_emodnet_bathymetry_satellite_derived_coastline_report.pdf

The EMODnet Bathymetry World Base Layer (EBWB) service is a gridded representation of worldwide bathymetric and topographic coverage adapted for a better representation of seabed morphological features. Based on modern WMTS schema, it allows a fluid and powerful rendering. For the global oceans EBWB1 is composed of the 2018 EMODnet Bathymetric grid around Europe (approx. 100m resolution) and uses the GEBCO 2019 grid (approx. 500m resolution) elsewhere in the marine environment. Land coverage is based on a combination of 30 arc second ASTER GDEM, SRTM3, EU-DEM, and Global 1 second world-wide water body map for the topographic part. This compilation of publicly available data sources have been merged and pre-tiled for rendering, at 10 levels of zoom starting from 1/24th of an arcminute (approx. 75m resolution). The EBWB1 service is available in non-projected system (Lat, Long, WGS84: EPSG:4086), Web Mercator (EPSG:3857), Inspire compliant ETRS-EALA projection (EPSG:3035) and projections adapted to both poles (ESPG 3031 and 3996) Service URL: https://tiles.emodnet-bathymetry.eu/wmts/1.0.0/WMTSCapabilities.xml
