EMODnet Bathymetry - Quality index version 2020

EMODnet bathymetry is composed of a multitude of datasets from a multitude of data providers. Users of the resulting grid and associated datasets need to be able to evaluate at the grid node level the quality of the bathymetric data and product they will be using. For this EMODnet Bathymetry has introduced a Quality index (QI). The QI is available as a WFS service providing vector data and as WMS providing the QI as an image service. The aim of the quality index is to: • help data users to evaluate quickly the dataset they are about to request, • indicate to the EMODnet Basin coordinators what are the limitations of the dataset they are about to merge while building the EMODnet DTM and to • be used as the basis of the evaluation of the quality of the EMODnet DTM.
