Lidar marine product is a unique and continuous land-sea database which can provide 3D models of the shape and location of french coastal terrain. Surveys are carried out by airborne lidar bathymetry over the sea side and airborne lidar topography over the land side up to 400m inland. This marine product is available in two formats: a set of 3D points and a qualified terrain mesh.

Lidar marine part is a unique and continuous land-sea database which can provide 3D models of the shape and location of French coastal terrain. A line separates sea and land data acquisition zones, and the associated survey readings obtained using bathymetric lidar technologies or multibeam echosounders for sea readings and airborne lidar topographical surveys for land readings, with 300 m overlap. Litto3D digital models are available in two formats: a set of 3D points and a qualified terrain mesh. The product Taharuu 2015 V. 20160630 corresponds to the zone: Mouth of Taharuu.

The "Military practice areas" product contains vector data in the form of 2D surface objects describing the military practice areas in the France sector represented on Zonex variants of nautical charts. This is the S-57 MIPARE object class (military practice areas): maritime zone within which military, naval or air exercises can take place.

"Harbour Information" product contains 13 object classes, the acronyms used are those of IHO standard S-57 - International Hydrographic Organization – (https://iho.int/): - Berth (BERTHS): place in which a ship is moored at wharf - Isolated building localizing a harbour office (BUISGL) - Checkpoint (CHKPNT) - Crane (CRANES) - Floating dock (FLODOC): floating structure of one or more sections which can be partly submerged by controlled flooding to receive a vessel, then raised by pumping out the water so that the vessel's bottom can be exposed for maintenance. - Gridiron (GRIDRN): structure in the intertidal zone serving as a support for vessels at low tide to permit work on the exposed portion of the vessel's hull. - Harbour area (HRBARE) : administrative area of a port, including all docking and handling facilities, as well as short-term storage facilities. - Harbour facility (HRBFAC) - Hulk (HULKES) : hull of a wrecked or condemned ship, from which the fittings and superstructure have usually been removed, which is moored in a permanent position or grounded. - Oil barrier (OILBAR) - Pilot boarding place (PILBOP) - Rescue station (RSCSTA) - Small craft facility (SMCFAC) Detailed definitions of each of these object classes can be found in the S-57 standard (https://iho.int/en/standards-and-specifications). An online catalog is available at http://www.s-57.com/. Some of the symbols used for display on data.shom.fr portal have been adapted from icons from the OpenSeaMap open library (https://github.com/OpenNauticalChart/).

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. <br /> October 27 2025 version

<em>Surface current predictions computed from statistical values obtained from the IROISE 3D 2011 Telemac hydrodynamic model gridded with a regular 30m spatial resolution.</em><br /> <br /> This service offers a visualization of surface current predictions computed from statistical values obtained from a high resolution hydrodynamic simulation at mean Neap and Spring corresponding to a tide coefficient of respectively 45 and 95. Those statistics are then interpolated/extrapolated every 15 minutes (cubic spline), and for each tide coefficient from 20 to 120 (linear). The statistical currents, initially referenced to Brest high tide, are then referenced to the hour requested by the user using the tide prediction service <a href="http://maree.shom.fr" target="_blank">http://maree.shom.fr</a>. This service was built by Shom and funded by French CCI Métropolitaine Bretagne Ouest (<a href="https://www.bretagne-ouest.cci.bzh/" target="_blank">CCIMBO</a>) in the frame of the <a href="https://www.atlanticblueports.com" target="_blank">Atlantic Blue Port</a> project of <a href="http://www.atlanticarea.eu" target="_blank">Interreg Atlantic Area</a> european program.<br />

Litto3D is a unique and continuous land-sea database which can provide 3D models of the shape and location of French coastal terrain. A line separates sea and land data acquisition zones, and the associated survey readings obtained using bathymetric lidar technologies or multibeam echosounders for sea readings and airborne lidar topographical surveys for land readings, with 300 m overlap. Litto3D digital models are available in two formats: a set of 3D points and a qualified terrain mesh.
