Hydrographic Data Products viewing service • Sources reference layer, indicating which source data (surveys or composite DTMs) were used as prevailing for DTM grid cells. Including identification of related source and associated metadata.

Possible new subjects • Expanding geographic coverage to all European maritime regions by including also: • Black Sea • Baltic Sea • North West Atlantic - Norwegian Sea • Arctic waters • Upgrading the gridding algorithm (also learning from Geo-Seas WP11 experiences) for less anomalies – apply for all regions • Upgrade the overall resolution from 450 meters to 200 meters • Also prepare a fully smoothed (polished) version
Possible new subjects • Also provide a projected grid (X,Y squares) next to the geographic grid (lat-lon boxes) to serve different user communities • Explore use of backscatter for geological purposes, including preparing an inventory of backscatter data sets and pilot for use • Investigate and establish interoperability with IHO standards, in particular S100 • Investigate the use of OLEX data sets as additional sources • Prepare a uniform high resolution European coastline from national coastlines
Possible new subjects • Provide calculated and derived products such as: • Slopes • Curvature • Rugosity (is a measure of small-scale variations or amplitude in the height of a surface) • …. • Provide technical support and staff capacity to HO’s for reworking / harmonisation of their DTMs and production of metadata (see NBorth Sea HO’s) • Explore how to make use of the results of the BLAST project for tuning of separation models, vertical referencing, etc • Plus of course: expand the number of data providers, data sets and metadata for existing regions and new regions
