This composite Digital Terrain Model (cDTM) is a high resolution bathymetry dataset highlighting measurement of depth of water in the ocean. This cDTM covers the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of County Donegal in Ireland. The EMODnet high resolution DTM covers bathymetry surveys completed between 2002 and 2016. Bathymetric data collected on board research vessels using multi-beam and single-beam echosounder instrumentation. Raw bathymetry processed within CARIS software to produce bathymetry products subsequently converted to NetCDF cDTM for EMODnet. Acquisition, processing and product delivery follows IHO standard s44 Edition 5. cDTM is composed of eighteen (18) images “merged simply” using GLOBE software. INFOMAR (Integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland’s Marine Resource) is a twenty year programme to map the physical, chemical and biological features of Ireland’s seabed established in 2006. INFOMAR is funded by the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (DCCAE), and delivered by joint management partners Geological Survey Ireland and the Marine Institute. The programme is the successor to the Irish National Seabed Survey (INSS) which ran between 1999 and 2005. INFOMAR concentrates on creating integrated mapping products related to the seabed.

Satellite-derived intertidal bathymetry for the Danish Wadden on the West coast of Denmark

Bathymetric data were collected on the Gorringe Bank, located along the Europe-Africa obliquely convergent plate boundary offshore SW Portugal. The high-resolution swath bathymetry dataset allowed the investigation of the shallow-depth structure of the Horseshoe Seamounts. Data were collected by means of the MBES system Reson SeaBat8101. The MBES was hull-mounted on a 60 meters long vessel. The MBES has 101 beams 1,5° x 1,5°; the operational frequency was 240 kHz. A LandStar 12 channel DGPS system was used for ship positioning and a motion sensor TSS-DMS02-05 was used to provide corrections for attitude data. A Sound Velocity Sensor was installed near the transducers thus providing realtime sound speed for beam steering. A sound velocity profiler Reson SVP20 was lowered through the water column every 6–8 h to get the velocity profile required for the depth computation. The bathymetric data were processed using the PDS2000 software. Data de-spiking was carried out without the application of automatic filters in order to preserve data accuracy and resolution.
