Description détaillée
Master the Tides of the Pays de la Loire with Unrivaled Precision
This digital atlas redefines tidal navigation for the Atlantic coast of France, offering a comprehensive, hour-by-hour breakdown of tidal currents in the Pays de la Loire region. Engineered for professionals, it combines cutting-edge hydrodynamic modeling with practical, real-world applications, making it an indispensable tool for maritime operations. Whether you're charting a course through the Loire estuary or planning port infrastructure, this atlas delivers the data you need to navigate with confidence.
High-Resolution Data for Critical Decision-Making
Leveraging a 2013 high-resolution hydrodynamic model, this atlas provides detailed tidal current charts for three key sectors: the Loire estuary, the bay from Croisic to Pouliguen, and Bourgneuf Bay. Each sector includes 13 maps, updated hourly to reflect tidal changes during both spring tides (coefficient 95) and neap tides (coefficient 45). Additional charts highlight maximum current speeds during average spring tides, ensuring you have the most accurate data for high-stakes navigation.
Designed for Maritime Professionals and Enthusiasts
From commercial shipping to environmental studies, this atlas is built to meet the demands of diverse maritime activities. Its Mercator projection aligns with standard navigational tools, while the inclusion of surface-level 2D currents offers actionable insights for real-time decision-making. Ideal for fishing, regattas, diving, and shellfish farming, it also supports critical operations like port infrastructure planning and environmental impact assessments.
Digital Convenience with Long-Term Value
Accessible via secure download, this PDF atlas can be used on up to five workstations, making it perfect for teams. With free updates for one year and unlimited validity, it’s a cost-effective solution for long-term tidal navigation. Whether you're a seasoned mariner or a maritime professional, this atlas ensures you stay ahead of the tides.
