Bottom height map, base map for the Zoute ecotopes Westerschelde 2015

Van de Westerschelde was made an ecotope card in 2015. A salty ecotope map is constructed by merging several layers of information from the intertidal area: soil height map (height and depth), geomorphological map, dry fall duration map, flow map and salt map. The bottom height map is based on lodings (depth) 2015 and laser altimetry (height) 2015.

Laser altimetry data combined with singlebeam specialist loading data where the laser altimetry data has been given a higher priority than the loding data. In order to complete the entire ecotope card, it was then supplemented by multibeam landings and additional data on Flemish territory.

The single-beam box loads used with recording dates (start and end dates):

0200p1501 20-01-2015 20-02-2015
