This composite Digital Terrain Model (cDTM) is a high resolution bathymetry dataset highlighting measurement of depth of water in the ocean. This cDTM covers the North Atlantic Ocean off the southwest coast of Ireland. The EMODnet high resolution DTM covers bathymetry surveys completed between 2002 and 2016. Bathymetric data collected on board research vessels using multi-beam and single-beam echosounder instrumentation. Raw bathymetry processed within CARIS software to produce bathymetry products subsequently converted to NetCDF cDTM for EMODnet. Acquisition, processing and product delivery follows IHO standard s44 Edition 5. cDTM is composed of nine (9) images “merged simply” using GLOBE software. INFOMAR (Integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland’s Marine Resource) is a twenty year programme to map the physical, chemical and biological features of Ireland’s seabed established in 2006. INFOMAR is funded by the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (DCCAE), and delivered by joint management partners Geological Survey Ireland and the Marine Institute. The programme is the successor to the Irish National Seabed Survey (INSS) which ran between 1999 and 2005. INFOMAR concentrates on creating integrated mapping products related to the seabed.

This composite Digital Terrain Model (cDTM) is a high resolution bathymetry dataset that covers SEDMET-1, INDEMARES, VID-1, HERMIONE-1 nad FORMED-1 cruises. Multibeam data acquired in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013 on board the R/V García del Cid with an Elac Seabeam 1050D echo-sounder.

The data have been acquired with a Seabat 8160 (50 kHz) multibeam echosounder mounted on board of a little boat (chief scientist M.R. Senatore). The main objective of this cruise was the production of the Geological Map of Italy, sheet n. 508 (Policoro).

Source data for the EMODNet DTM for the Belgium Continental Shelf (BCP) is compiled by the Maritime and Coastal Services - Flemish Hydrograpy (https://www.agentschapmdk.be/nl/hydrografische-data) at a resolution of 1/64'. The data set covers the Belgium Continental shelf area.

The data were acquired with Reson SeaBat 7150 and 8111 multibeam echosounder systems on board the R/V OGS Explora in order to cover the Malta Escarpment for a geological survey in the framework of EU FP7 project SCARP.
