Coverage of the EMODnet Bathymetry DTM

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

Introduction

The "EMODnet Digital Bathymetry (DTM)" is a multilayer bathymetric product for Europe’s sea basins containing water depths. The DTM 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 DTM has a grid resolution of 1/8 * 1/8 arc minutes (roughly 230 * 230 meters).

Availability from within WindPRO

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