FAQ

What is Satellite-Derived Bathymetry?
Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) is used to map water column depths by means of optical satellite sensors and specific algorithms.
Briefly described, the method relies on satellite sensors in space which record the reflected sunlight intensity at different wavelengths. These reflectance intensities vary – amongst other important factors – with water depth. This allows the calculation of water depths from satellite imagery. The technical background to solve this equation is however far more complex and includes the full physical description of the light pathway from the sun to the earth and back to the sensor. As such, it includes radiative transfer models, spectral databases, solver algorithms, and QA/QC routines. This process is known as the physics-based approach and handled by EOMAP’s well experienced team of analysts. EOMAP uses its Modular Inversion Program (MIP), which has been constantly maintained and improved since the late nineties.

What makes EOMAP’s service unique? Why does EOMAP’s data service stand out?
EOMAP’s Satellite-Derived Bathymetry services have been widely used and validated in practice. Our clients acknowledge and benefit from the quality of our bathymetric data, our in-depth background knowledge and high level of service readiness.
EOMAP’s SDB methods have been developed over the last two decades and are being constantly improved and maintained. You’ll not find any other method and service which has this kind of continuous and systematic scientific proof.

Who is using EOMAP’s Satellite-Derived Bathymetry data?
The cost-efficiency of the bathymetric data – compared to acoustic and lidar surveys – makes it attractive to a variety of user groups. Our key clients are surveyors, hydrographers, hydrodynamic and coastal modellers, geomatics and GIS planners, and coastal zone managers.

How do I place an order with only little survey or on-site information on hand to add to my SDB model? I have some survey/on-site information that I would like to provide in order to improve the SDB model and receive validated uncertainty information. How should I proceed?
Reliable on-site information can help calibrate the SDB model to the best extent possible and provide a quantitative validated bathymetric grid. If accurate on-site information is available, please place an order and submit your bathymetric on-site information to store@eomap.com. Please remember to include metadata (date of survey, vertical datum).

What is the relation between Satellite-Derived Bathymetry data and MBES?
Multi-beam acoustic surveys are the most accurate but also the most expensive method of gathering bathymetric data. There is a combined use of MBES and SDB data: MBES surveys are typically used for 5 to 10 m depth contours in order to avoid navigational issues. This depth range, from the shore down to 5 to 10 m, is known as the white band – the coastal data gap. This is where SBD can provide essential data and fill the data gap.

How is Satellite-Derived Bathymetry data compared to single-beam data?
Single-beam acoustic data are single survey lines which typically stop at very shallow waters (< 2 m). These data are not spatial. The higher the spatial frequencies of the track lines, the more cost-intensive it becomes. SDB is an ideal tool to combine its data with acoustic data. SDB models can be calibrated and validated to the best degree possible and thus result in a spatial bathymetric grid of high accuracy. In other words, SDB helps extend single beam data to a spatial and much more extended coverage.

Can Satellite-Derived Bathymetry data be used for safety of navigation?
EOMAP does not provide data for safety of navigation. However, our data are used to improve safety of navigation, especially in areas where there are no, outdated, or unreliable nautical charts. Please contact us if the data is to be used for navigational purposes.

Can I receive Satellite-Derived Bathymetry data in ENC format?
Yes.

Can information about seafloor coverage, habitats, and geomorphology be provided as well?
Yes. Spatial information on seafloor coverage, habitats, and geomorphology can be created.

What is the maximum mapping depth and how can I access it?
The maximum water depth mapped by SDB is similar to the maximum light penetration depth of sunlight. Since this varies depending on season and location, a global depth statement is not valid. The following mapping depths have been analysed: Red Sea (20–30 m), Gulf region (5–15 m from north to south), Mediterranean Sea (20–30 m), Baltic Sea (2–15 m from north to south), Caribbean Sea (20–30 m), US West Coast (5–15 m), Pacific region (20–30 m).
EOMAP’s store offers a unique feasibility layer to estimate the Satellite-Derived Bathymetry coverage and help explore the coverage for each place on earth.

What are the vertical/depth uncertainties?
Depth uncertainties are provided with each data delivery. These uncertainties are a combination of internal model uncertainties (such as the sensitivity of the sensor) and external uncertainties (uncertainties regarding tides) and are compared against on-site or charting data if accessible. With ideal scenarios and on-site information, EOMAP’s SDB data have matched with a 50 cm accuracy (LE90). LE90 implies that 90% of the data fall into the depth uncertainty of 50 cm or better. Without access to on-site information, the uncertainty is typically at a range between 0.5 and 1.0 m LE90 and a depth dependent factor between 10 and 15%.

Can I access SDB data everywhere?
Using optical sensors, Satellite-Derived Bathymetry is limited to the water zone that reflects sunlight from the seafloor. It varies significantly depending on location and season. Our online feasibility search will provide an interactive tool to access the feasibility of a certain area.

What are the horizontal/geolocation uncertainties?
The geolocation uncertainties are determined by the spatial resolution of the bathymetric data grid and thus by the satellite source. For 2 m bathymetric grids, the horizontal uncertainty is 5 m CE90, for 10 m grids it is 10 m CE90 or better and for 30 m grids it is 30 m CE90.

What kind of satellite data are being used to create the bathymetric data?
EOMAP has a sensor agnostic system that allows us to use all calibrated satellite sensors available. As EOMAP is not an official satellite image reseller, it is not compulsory to focus on one single data source. The majority of our products are created using modern satellite data from WorldView-2, 3, 4, Pleiades, and the Sentinel-2 mission.

What are the delivery formats?
Default file types of our bathymetric data are ASCII XYZQ files (point clouds), GeoTIFFs (georeferenced raster files), and contour lines (shape files). All data come with ISO 19139 conform metadata and a quicklook. Other formats, such as ENC and CAD formats, are available on request.

What are the costs of the data?

4. Cookies

The Internet pages of the EOMAP GmbH & Co. KG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the EOMAP GmbH & Co. KG can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

5. Collection of general data and information

The website of the EOMAP GmbH & Co. KG collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the EOMAP GmbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the EOMAP GmbH & Co. KG analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

6. Subscription to our newsletters

On the website of the EOMAP GmbH & Co. KG, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.

The EOMAP GmbH & Co. KG informs its customers and business partners regularly (up to four times per year) by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise’s newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.

During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way. If a subscriber fails to confirm the newsletter subscription, the subscription request will be deleted within four weeks.

7. Newsletter-Tracking

The newsletter of the EOMAP GmbH & Co. KG contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the EOMAP GmbH & Co. KG may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.

Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The EOMAP GmbH & Co. KG automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

8. Contact possibility via the website

The website of the EOMAP GmbH & Co. KG contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

9. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

Other legitimate interest in this relation is, e.g. a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

12. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.

13. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.

For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application “_gat. _anonymizeIp”. By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must simply GA opt-out following this link or download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.

14. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google+

On this website, the controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Google+ allows users of the social network to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos and network through friend requests.

The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject automatically downloads a display of the corresponding Google+ button of Google through the respective Google+ button component. During the course of this technical procedure, Google is made aware of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available under https://developers.google.com/+/.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time to Google+, Google recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of his or her stay on our Internet site, which specific sub-pages of our Internet page were visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Google+ button and Google matches this with the respective Google+ account associated with the data subject.

If the data subject clicks on the Google+ button integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+ 1 recommendation, then Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores the personal data. Google stores the Google+ 1 recommendation of the data subject, making it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject in this regard. Subsequently, a Google+ 1 recommendation given by the data subject on this website together with other personal data, such as the Google+ account name used by the data subject and the stored photo, is stored and processed on other Google services, such as search-engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, e.g. on Internet pages, or in relation to advertisements. Google is also able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored on Google. Google further records this personal information with the purpose of improving or optimizing the various Google services.

Through the Google+ button, Google receives information that the data subject visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call-up to our website is logged in to Google+. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks or doesn’t click on the Google+ button.

If the data subject does not wish to transmit personal data to Google, he or she may prevent such transmission by logging out of his Google+ account before calling up our website.

Further information and the data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. More references from Google about the Google+ 1 button may be obtained under https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.

15. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google-AdWords

On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google’s search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.

The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an insertion of third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data subject through Google. The definition of cookies is explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g, the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or canceled a sale of goods.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest based advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data subject must access from each of the browsers in use the link www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

YouTube’s data protection provisions, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

19. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

20. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

21. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

22. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

23. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

Very High Resolution Satellite-Derived Bathymetry, 2 m

Our 2 m spatial resolution bathymetric grid serves users with a need for spatial detail. It is therefore of interest to coastal engineers, surveyors, and as a navigation aid in poorly charted areas.

Very high resolution SDB grid overlaid with bottom reflectance imagery.

Who is using our Very High Resolution Satellite-Derived Bathymetry, 2 m data?
Proven background of this project exists since 2006, when we mapped parts of the Australian shallow waters. Since then, we have been providing frequent services to hydrographic agencies (such as the UK Hydrographic Office and Land Information New Zealand), navies (sorry... confidential), industries (Shell, BP, VanOord, Fugro, etc.), and governments. With our 2 m product, we are ranked top framework provider for Satellite-Derived Bathymetry for the UK Hydrographic Office and have provided data to support the update of nautical charts in the Caribbean and Pacific regions.

Methods
Briefly described, the method relies on satellite sensors in space which record the reflected sunlight intensity at different wavelengths. These reflectance intensities vary – amongst other important factors – with water depth. This allows the calculation of water depths from satellite imagery. The technical background to solve this equation is however far more complex and includes the full physical description of the light pathway from the sun to the earth and back to the sensor. As such, it includes radiative transfer models, spectral databases, solver algorithms, and QA/QC routines. This process is known as the physics-based approach and handled by EOMAP’s well experienced team of analysts. EOMAP uses its Modular Inversion Processor (MIP), which has been constantly maintained and improved since the late nineties.

Depth limitation and data coverage
Satellite-Derived Bathymetry provides shallow water bathymetric data. The maximum mapping depth is determined by water clarity: The more turbid, the less data coverage and the less mapping depth. EOMAP has created and is constantly increasing global feasibility layers allowing users to interactively receive information on estimated coverage. Please check the web app for more details.

Specifications

Spatial resolution / grid spacing	2 metre
Maximum mapping depth	1 to 1.2 times the Secchi Disc Depth. The maximum mapping depth depends on water clarity and thus varies locally. Please check our global feasibility layer.
Vertical uncertainties / depth uncertainty (LE90)	0.5 m and 10 to 15% depth LE90
Horizontal uncertainties / geolocation uncertainty (CE90)	5 m CE90
Vertical Datum	Provided in any common vertical reference datum. You can choose between Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT), Mean Sea Level (MSL), geoid surface (EGM08), or customised datums.
Delivery format	Bathymetric data are stored as georeferenced raster files (GeoTIFF), ASCII XYZ text files, contour lines, KMZ overlays, and maps. All deliverables come with ISO 19135 conform metadata. Uncertainty information is included in every deliverable and stored as GeoTIFF and ASCII text files.
Coordinate System	WGS 84 / UTM zoning by default

High Resolution Satellite-Derived Bathymetry, 10 m

Our 10 m spatial resolution bathymetric grid serves users looking for high quality and extended areas. It is mainly of interest to coastal and survey planners, hydrodynamic modellers, and as a navigation aid for poorly charted areas.

High resolution SDB grid merged with topographic data and overlaid with realcolor imagery.

Who is using our High Resolution Satellite-Derived Bathymetry, 10 m data?
Proven background of this project exists since 2015 – shortly after the successful launch and access to Sentinel-2 data. Since then, we have been providing 10 m mapping services globally, ranging from the high latitude of Svalbard down to the equatorial regions of Belize. Customers include industry, academia, and European programmes. As such, the 10 m dataset represents the base survey data for coastal regions in the EC EMODnet Bathymetry Project. With our 10 m product, we won the Geospatial World Awards in 2017.

Methods
Briefly described, the method relies on the satellite sensors in space which record the reflected sunlight intensity at different wavelengths. These reflectance intensities vary – amongst other factors – with depth and seafloor characteristics. This allows the calculation of water depths from satellite imagery. The technical background to solve this equation is however far more complex and includes the full physical description of the light pathway from the sun to the earth and back to the sensor. As such, it includes radiative transfer models, spectral databases, solver algorithms, and QA/QC routines. This process is known as the physics-based approach and handled by EOMAP’s well experienced team of analysts. EOMAP uses its Modular Inversion Processor (MIP), which has been constantly maintained and improved since the late nineties.

Depth limitation and data coverage
Satellite-Derived Bathymetry provides shallow water bathymetric data. The maximum mapping depth is determined by water clarity: The more turbid, the less data coverage and the less mapping depth. EOMAP has created and is constantly increasing global feasibility layers allowing users to interactively receive information on estimated coverage. Please check the web app for more details.
