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. 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 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

Coverage

• The Greater North Sea, including the Kattegat and stretches of water such as Fair Isle, Cromarty, Forth, Forties, Dover, Wight, and Portland
