The coastal topobathymetric DEM of Ré Island's surroundings, with a resolution of 0.00005° (~5 meters), was created by Shom as part of the HOMONIM-3 project. It covers the coast of the municipalities of Ars-en-Ré and Saint-Clément-des-Baleines, extending offshore to a depth of about 20 meters, to the west of the Phare des Baleines lighthouse. This DEM is designed for use in hydrodynamic models to enhance the modeling of coastal processes, particularly forecasting submersion risk. The product complements the coastal topobathymetric DEM of the Pertuis-Charentais, with a resolution of 0.0002° (~20 meters), and the bathymetric DEM of the Atlantic coast, with a resolution of 0.001° (~100 meters). It is available in the vertical reference of the Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) or the Mean Sea Level (MSL).

The update of the coastal topo-bathymetric DEM of the Gironde estuary - downstream with a resolution of 0.0002° (~ 20 m) was carried out in the third phase of the HOMONIM project. This DEM covers the downstream part of the Gironde estuary, from Pauillac to its mouth. It is complementary to the DEM covering the upstream estuary. The DEM is intended to be implemented in hydrodynamic models in order to produce forecasts as accurate as possible of water heights and sea states at the coast to improve the relevance of the Wave-Submergence Vigilance. This product is available with either the Lowest Astronomic Tide (LAT) or the Mean Sea Level (MSL) as a vertical reference.

The update of the coastal topo-bathymetric DEM of the Gironde estuary - upstream with a resolution of 0.0002° (~ 20 m) was carried out in the third phase of the HOMONIM project. This DEM covers the upstream part of the Gironde estuary, from Pauillac to Bordeaux on the Garonne and to Libourne on the Dordogne. It is complementary to the DEM covering the downstream estuary (between Pauillac and the mouth of the Gironde). The DEM is intended to be implemented in hydrodynamic models in order to produce forecasts as accurate as possible of water heights and sea states at the coast to improve the relevance of the Wave-Submergence Vigilance. This product is available with either the Lowest Astronomic Tide (LAT) or the Mean Sea Level (MSL) as a vertical reference.

The bathymetric DEM of Tahiti and Moorea with a resolution of 0.001° (~ 100 m) was produced by the Shom for Météo-France (Inter-regional Direction in French Polynesia). This DEM covers a 10 km radius around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea in order to meet the need for marine submersions modelling in French Polynesia. This product is available at different vertical references, either the lowest astronomical tide (LAT) or the mean sea level (MSL).

The coastal topo-bathymetric DEM of Moorea with a resolution of 0.0002° (~ 20 m) was produced by the Shom for Météo-France (Inter-regional Direction in French Polynesia). This DEM covers the Moorea lagoons down to the 100 m isobath, in order to meet the need for modeling marine submersions in French Polynesia. It complements the bathymetric DEM of Tahiti and Moorea, with a resolution of 0.001° (~ 100 m). This product is available at different vertical references, either the lowest astronomical tide (LAT) or the mean sea level (MSL).

Continuous tidal levels spanning the period 2000-2019 are provided alongside topo-bathymetric and wave datasets. The astronomical tide dataset starts three years before beach morphological observations. Tidal levels were derived from existing databases furnished by external organisations.
-
Continuous hourly time-series of inshore waves spanning the period 2000-2019 are provided alongside topo-bathymetric and tide datasets. The wave dataset starts three years before topographic observations to provide antecedent conditions for morphodynamic modelling purposes. Wave parameters were derived from existing databases furnished by external organisations.

The archived multi-sensor dataset detailed here presents the results of topographic and bathymetric surveys at Porsmilin, a macrotidal pocket (embayed) beach situated in Brittany, in northwest France. The Porsmilin beach survey program was launched in January 2003 by the Institut Universitaire Européen de la Mer (IUEM/Univ. Brest) and is continuing today in the framework of the French coastal observation service SNO-DYNALIT. The dataset contains over 16 years of beach profile surveys and a large collection of recurring high-resolution subtidal and subaerial digital elevation models (DEMs) obtained using various survey methods. The dataset is accompanied by time-series of inshore waves and water levels, and enriched metadata, that will facilitate its future reuse in coastal research. The dataset is structured as follows, with separate metadata (child records) for 1) beach profiles, 2) topographic DEMs, 3) bathymetric DEMs, 4) fusion DEMs, 5) orthophotos, 6) inshore waves and 7) astronomical tides.

Hydrographic surveys have been conducted using small boats of the Institut Universitaire Européen de la Mer (https://www.flotteoceanographique.fr/en/Facilities/Vessels-Deep-water-submersible-vehicles-and-Mobile-equipments/Station-vessels/Albert-Lucas), which can be equipped with a range of sensors for data acquisition in the nearshore zone. For each survey, we prepared a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) at a fixed sampling distance of 0.5 m.
