BGS works with the partner Data Archive Centre (DAC) for bathymetry at the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) to obtain multibeam bathymetry data, mainly from the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) Civil Hydrography Programme (CHP). The data often includes processed backscatter data which BGS make available, but if processed backscatter data are not included, in some cases BGS creates processed backscatter data from the raw data. http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/32630 http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/4326 http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13605639
