Satellite Derived Bathymetry Denmark EEZ

Data provides Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) data for shallow waters. The analysis is based on EOMAP’s WATCOR-X SDB software and Sentinel-2 data. The native spatial resolution of the data is 10m.

Supplemental_Information:

EOMAPs Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) method relies on the reflected light energy which is measured at the satellite sensor in space. To calculate water depth, the sea bottom reflection must be separated from all other simultaneously measured portions of light. Other contributors of light scattered to the sensor are atmospheric molecules and aerosols, adjacent scattering from land, the water surface reflection, and light scattered and absorbed due to particular properties of water constituents and the pure water itself. The pure water itself also absorbs light in a spectrally specific manner and therefore leaves unique signatures in the signal while the light passes through the water column and returns after reflection at the sea bottom. This property is relevant to estimate water depth from optical satellite imagery. As many properties can vary over space and time, effective correction, regularization and retrieval algorithms must be applied to avoid instable results. Furthermore, multi-record analytics are part of the process and reduce noise and increase overall vertical accuracies. EOMAP developed and maintains these unique algorithms and its workflows for almost 2 decades and has developed the Watcor-X SDB software. The maximum depth the system is able to sense is related to the complex interaction of radiance of bottom material, incident sun angle and intensity, and the type and quantity of organics or sediments in the water column. As a rule-of-thumb, SDB can measure depths down to one to one point five times the Secchi Disc Depth. The SDB data are compared against Satellite-Lidar Bathymetry (SLB) tracks which have been derived out of the IceSat-2 Atlas instrument and are stored and distributed via EOMAP’s SLB database.

Statement

Data were processed by Watcor-X SDB software, by EOMAP GmbH Co.KG.

Watcor-X SDB software is designed for the physically based assessment of hydro-biological parameters from multi- and hyperspectral remote sensing data to quantify water depth. This allows to access bathymetric data, even in the absence of any local survey data..
