Bathymetric DEM for the coasts of French Guiana (Project Homonim)

The bathymetric DEM for the coasts of French Guiana with a resolution of 0.001° (~ 100 m) was prepared as part of the HOMONIM project.

The DEM covers the entire Guyanese coast and part of Surinam to the west and Brazil to the east. Off-shore, the DEM covers the continental shelf and part of the slope.

The DEM is designed to be used in hydrodynamic models in order to produce high-precision forecasts for coastal water levels and sea conditions and therefore improve the pertinence of the Waves-Submersion monitoring programme.

This product is available with the Lowest Astronomic Tide (LAT) or the Mean Sea Level (MSL) as a vertical datum.

Statement

In addition to the Shom data, the surveys of external organisms have been exploited, the contributors of which are as follows: AAMP, Atlantique Dragage S.A, Centro de Hidrografia da Marinha (Bresil), DEAL Guyane, Direction de la Mer de Guyane – Service Phares et Balises,Hydrografish Bureau (Pays-Bas), Ifremer, Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, MARUM, NCEI, SEMANTIC-TS.

GEBCO and GMRT bathymetric grids may be used to prepare the DEM for any non-commercial purpose, without need for prior approval.
Description

The main tasks involved in producing this range of solutions are based on 4 key aspects, each intended to reduce uncertainty for the DEM:

1) collecting, evaluating, pre-processing and selecting data from multiple sources after acquisition using survey systems from various eras;

2) homogenising the vertical and horizontal datums for data sets;

3) using interpolation algorithms suitable for a heterogeneous distribution and the variable density of data, and

4) evaluating and qualifying the final product and preparing documentation.
