EMODnet Mean Sea Level

The EMODnet Bathymetry World Coastline is available as a WFS service from EMODnet Bathymetry. The service URL is: https://ows.emodnet-bathymetry.eu/wfs. The layer contains vector lines derived from land polygons available from OpenStreetMap. The original source url is https://osmdata.openstreetmap.de/. Parts of these polygons have been modified for use in EMODnet Bathymetry. In addition to the OSM EMODnet default coastline, three sub-layers are available as part of the EMODnet world coastline service. These sub-layers contain the best-estimate coastlines for Europe determined by Dutch research institute Deltares from satellite data (typically Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8) and in combination with the Global Tide Surge Model (GTSM) processed into digital coastlines for the European seas at LAT (Lowest Astronomical Tide), MSL (Mean-Sea-Level), and MHW (Mean-High-Water). The level of detail is bound to the resolution of the satellite sensor (e.g. 10m for Sentinel-2). The latest December 2022 version covers the entire coastline of Europe and now also part of the Caribbean. A detailed paper is available describing the methodology used to determine the three versions of the satellite derived coastline: https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/sites/emodnet.ec.europa.eu/files/public/EMODnet-Bathymetry_2022_satellite_derived_coastlines_Deltares-Feb2023.pdf
