The coastal topo-bathymetric DTM of the Arcachon basin and its surroundings at a resolution of 0.0002° (~ 20 m) was produced as part of the HOMONIM project. The DTM covers the coastline of a part of the Gironde department, from the Carcans and Hourtin ponds in the North, to the Cazaux and Sanguinet lakes in the South. It covers the entire Arcachon basin and extends offshore to about 40 m depth. The DTM is intended to be implemented in hydrodynamic models in order to produce accurate forecasts of water heights and sea states at the coast and to improve the French storm surge warning system.

The coastal topobathymetric DEM of Ré Island's surroundings, with a resolution of 0.00005° (~5 meters), was created by Shom as part of the HOMONIM-3 project. It covers the coast of the municipalities of Ars-en-Ré and Saint-Clément-des-Baleines, extending offshore to a depth of about 20 meters, to the west of the Phare des Baleines lighthouse. This DEM is designed for use in hydrodynamic models to enhance the modeling of coastal processes, particularly forecasting submersion risk. The product complements the coastal topobathymetric DEM of the Pertuis-Charentais, with a resolution of 0.0002° (~20 meters), and the bathymetric DEM of the Atlantic coast, with a resolution of 0.001° (~100 meters). The vertical reference for this product is the Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT).

The update of the coastal topo-bathymetric DEM of the Pertuis charentais at a resolution of 0.0002° (~ 20 m) was carried out in the third phase of the HOMONIM project. The DEM extends from the terrestrial domain to about 60 meters depth over all the pertuis (pertuis Breton, pertuis d’Antioche and pertuis of Maumusson). 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. The vertical reference for this product is Mean Sea Level (MSL).

The coastal topo-bathymetric DEM of Moorea 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 Moorea 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). The vertical reference for this product is the Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT).

The coastal topo- bathymetric DEM for the coasts of the Saint-Jean-de-Luz bay with a resolution of 0.0002° (~ 20 m) was prepared as part of the TANDEM project. It covers Saint-Jean-de-Luz bay and the surrounding area. 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 bathymetric DEM for the coasts of French Guiana with a resolution of 0.001° (~ 100 m) was prepared as part of the HOMONIM project. The DEM covers the entire Guyanese coast and part of Surinam to the west and Brazil to the east. Off-shore, the DEM covers the continental shelf and part of the slope. 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.

Litto3D® marine part 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. Litto3D® marine part digital models are available in two formats: a set of 3D points and a qualified terrain mesh.

The Histolitt® coastline corresponds to the high tide line with an astronomic tidal coefficient of 120 and in normal weather conditions (no sea breeze and no low pressure systems likely to raise sea level). The Histolitt® coastline models this theoretical input as a series of 2D polylines. In mainland France, it is recommended to use the land-sea limit product which replaces this Histolitt® coastline. There is no land-sea limit in the French overseas areas for the moment.

The coastal topo-bathymetric DEM was produced using the bathymetric and topographic data acquired between 2012 and 2015 by Shom and the PASSION programme team. The 20 m coastal grid covers the Passion atoll – Clipperton and the local flanks of the atoll to a depth of 1500 m. 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°.
