  • The coastal topo- bathymetric DEM of the port of Saint-Malo and its surroundings with a resolution of 0.00005° (~ 5 m) was prepared as part of the PAPI Saint-Malo. It covers the city of Saint-Malo and its surroundings, from the tip of Décollé in the west to the tip of Varde in the east. 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.

  • The coastal topo-bathymetric DEM of Tahiti with a resolution of 0.0002° (~ 20 m) was produced by the Shom for Météo-France (Inter-regional Direction in French Polynesia). This DEM covers the Tahiti lagoons down to the 100 m isobath, in order to meet the need for modeling marine submersions in French Polynesia. It complements the bathymetric DEM of Tahiti and Moorea, with a resolution of 0.001° (~ 100 m). This product is available at different vertical references, either the lowest astronomical tide (LAT) or the mean sea level (MSL).

  • 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 for the coasts of Guadeloupe and Martinique with a resolution of 0.001° (~ 100 m) was prepared as part of the HOMONIM project. The DEM covers some of the Lesser Antilles islands, from Montserrat in the north to Sainte-Lucie in the south. The model ranges off-shore to a depth of 5800 m. 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.

  • The bathymetric DEM for the coasts of New-Caledonia with a resolution of 0.001° (~ 100 m) was prepared in the framework of a Shom-IRD partnership as part of the TSUCAL project. The DEM covers the basin from New Caledonia in the west to the Vanuatu archipelago in the east. The DEM is designed to be used in hydrodynamic models in order to improve the pertinence of the Waves-Submersion monitoring programme.

  • The bathymetric DEM for the coasts of Mayotte with a resolution of 0.001° (~ 100 m) was prepared as part of the HOMONIM project. It covers the entire island of Mayotte and extends to Anjouan island in the west. The model ranges off-shore to a depth of 3700 m. 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 bathymetric DEM for the coasts of Guadeloupe and Martinique with a resolution of 0.001° (~ 100 m) was prepared as part of the HOMONIM project. The DEM covers some of the Lesser Antilles islands, from Anguilla in the north to Saba in the south. The model ranges off-shore to a depth of 3275 m. 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.

  • The bathymetric DEM of Tahiti and Moorea with a resolution of 0.001° (~ 100 m) was produced by the Shom for Météo-France (Inter-regional Direction in French Polynesia). This DEM covers a 10 km radius around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea in order to meet the need for marine submersions modelling in French Polynesia. This product is available at different vertical references, either the lowest astronomical tide (LAT) or the mean sea level (MSL).

  • The bathymetric DEM was produced using the bathymetric and topographic data acquired between 2012 and 2015 by Shom and the PASSION programme team. The extent of the 100 m coastal grid covers an extended area around Passion Island – Clipperton, Mount Queiros, Mount Cermeno, and adjacent shallow waters. Passion island - Clipperton, in the eastern Pacific Ocean, is a remote uninhabited atoll over 5,000 km from Tahiti in French Polynesia and over 1,000 km from the Mexican coasts. Passion island is the highest point on the Clipperton ridge, and the only location above water level. This is the only coral atoll in the eastern Pacific in the northern hemisphere, at a longitude of W 109° and a latitude of N 10°.

  • The coastal topo- bathymetric DEM for the coasts of the straight of Pas-de-Calais with a resolution of 0.0002° (~ 20 m) was prepared as part of the TANDEM project. The DEM covers the eastern Channel and southern North Sea, including the French coast of the Nord - Pas-de-Calais administrative department and part of the British coast, in the county of Kent, and the south part of the Thames estuary up to Rye. 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.
