Coverage of the EMODnet Bathymetry DTM

EMODnet Bathymetry data in windPRO - Offshore site near Anholt, Denmark

Introduction

For windPRO users working with offshore wind farm development, the "EMODnet Digital Bathymetry (DTM)" is a multilayer bathymetric product for Europe’s sea basins containing water depths. Two versions version exists: The 2016-version is based upon more than 7700 bathymetric survey data sets and composite DTMs that have been gathered from 27 data providers from 18 European countries. The 2016-DTM has a grid resolution of 1/8 * 1/8 arc minutes (roughly 230 * 230 meters). An updated version was released in 2018 with more data - now 9400 surveys from 49 data-providers - and with a higher resolution - now at 1/16 arc-minute (approximately 115 meters).

Availability from within WindPRO and Usage Notes

The data is available directly from within windPRO and can be accessed from the online-services in the Elevation Grid Object.
Usage:

In order to access the data, please set the purpose of the Elevation Grid Object to 'Water depths'.
If you want to export the grid to contour lines: This can be done from within the grid-object, simply select the layer of interest, then choose 'Export Layer'.

Reference System

The following reference system was used in the original data:

Geo [deg,min] - WGS84
