Topo-bathymetric and oceanographic datasets for coastal flooding risk assessment: French Flooding Prevention Action Program of Saint-Malo

Abstract. The French Flooding Prevention Action Program of Saint-Malo requires assessment of coastal flooding risks. The first prerequisite is a knowledge of the topography and bathymetry of the bay of Saint-Malo. In addition to existing topo-bathymetric data, the acquisition of new multibeam bathymetric data is performed. The combination of these datasets allows the generation of two high resolution topo-bathymetric digital terrain models. Then, to understand the hydrodynamic conditions which cause coastal flooding, a dense and extensive oceanographic field experiment is conducted. Oceanographic data were acquired using a network of 22 moorings with 37 sensors, during winter 2018–2019. The network included 2 directional buoys, 2 pressure tide gauges, 18 wave pressure gauges, 4 single-point current meters, 7 current profilers and 4 acoustic wave-current profilers from mid-depth (25 m) up to the upper beach and the dike system. The oceanographic dataset provides an overview of hydrodynamics in Saint-Malo bay and wave processes leading to coastal flooding. The combination of high-resolution topo-bathymetric and oceanographic datasets provides a unique capability for model validation and process studies. The topo-bathymetric and oceanographic datasets are available freely at doi : https://doi.org/10.17183/MNT_COTIER_GNB_PAPI_SM_20m_WGS84, https://doi.org/10.17183/MNT_COTIER_PORT_SM_PAPI_SM_5m_WGS84,  and https://doi.org/10.17183/CAMPAGNE_OCEANO_STMALO.

Short summary
The French Flooding Prevention Action Program of Saint-Malo focuses on improving the knowledge of coastal flooding risks. The proposed approach is to use in-situ data collection. Bathymetric and oceanographic measurement campaigns were conducted during the winter of 2018–2019. Topo-bathymetric and oceanographic datasets have been built from these measurement campaigns. These data allow the development and validation of numerical models to improve the prediction of coastal flooding risks.
