Bathymetry is the underwater equivalent to hypsometry or topography. Bathymetric (or hydrographic) charts are typically produced to support safety of surface or sub-surface navigation, and usually show seafloor relief or terrain as contour lines (called depth contours or isobaths).
Bathymetry is a static data layer providing general indications of water depth in a particular area.

Enter name of the layer at the North Sea source.
The EMODnet data products are based on the continuous average depth grid of one-sixteenth arc-minute. This grid is based on three source types: Individual bathymetric surveys, composite digital terrain data (cDTM) and Satellite-Derived Bathymetry. The latter two have been used whenever the actual survey data was unavailable for direct processing by the EMODnet partners. Whenever data were unavailable GEBCO data has been used to fill in the gaps.

Downloaded the (raster) data covering the interest area from emodnet. Created a composite raster file and classified it using the depth ranges of interest.

"This bathymetry layer is not based on measurements but modelled. The bathymetry is modelled based on data provided by the countries around the baltic sea. Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Estonia have all delivered data for this 500 meter grid model. The purpose of this database is to deliver a homogenous bathymetric model for the complete baltic sea at specific resolutions. It is also important to notice that this data must not be used for navigation."
