Hydrodynamic variables at 5-m resolution in the Lacaze-Duthiers Canyon, below130 m depth

Bottom hydrodynamic variables (Temperature, Salinity, Current velocitiy) were derived from the near-seafloor hydrodynamic dataset modeled using SYMPHONIE ( https://www.seanoe.org/data/00943/105472/ ). Extreme percentiles (1%, 99%) of bottom temperature and salinity, as well as (95%, 99%) of bottom currents were interpolated to produce rasters 5-m resolution. Additionally, salinity and temperature amplitude rasters (Ampli-T ; Ampli-S) were created by subtracting T01 from T99 and S01 from S99. The dataset is composed of eight rasters.

Only data below 130 m depth were retained, focused on the Lacaze-Duthiers Canyon.

This dataset was produced to assess the probable distribution of habitats (habitat suitability modeling) for cold-water corals in the Lacaze-Duthiers Canyon at different resolutions as part of the European H2020 project REDRESS (Restoration of Deep-Sea Habitats to Rebuild European Seas, https://redress-project.eu/ , Grant Agreement No. 101135492).

SYMPHONIE is a component of the national service SIROCCO (research infrastructure ILICO).

This dataset is related to the article "Mapping and Conservation of Cold-Water Corals in the Lacaze-Duthiers Canyon for Transboundary Management", submitted to Mediterranean Marine Science by Fabri et al. in 2025.

Statement

Bottom environemenal variables were modeled using SYMPHONIE on a numerical domain covering 65 × 60 km at a resolution of 80 m ( https://www.seanoe.org/data/00943/105472/ ). The 10-m bathymetry used inside the Lacaze-Duthiers Canyon was collected during the CALADU_2021 cruise ( https://doi.org/10.17600/1800157 5). Statistics of extreme values were derived from hourly fields simulated between November 1, 2012, and April 15, 2014. This period includes two contrasting winters: the winter of 2012–2013, which was cold with dense water cascading, and the winter of 2013–2014, which was warm.

These ydrodynamic variables were provided as point files with a regular spacing of 80 m for each of the six variables (T01, T99, S01, S99, UV95, UV99). Datasets were interpolated at 5-m resolution. The natural neighbor interpolation method was applied, ensuring that no new values were created outside the range of existing data. Additionally, salinity and temperature amplitude rasters (Ampli-T ; Ampli-S) were created by subtracting T01 from T99 and S01 from S99.

Only data under 130m were retained to assess the probable distribution of habitats (habitat suitability modeling) for cold-water corals in the Lacaze-Duthiers Canyon.
