Abstract:
The British Geological Survey (BGS) holds an archive of multibeam backscatter data from BGS, Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) and other organisations. The data are stored within the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) and the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centre (DAC) for Geology and Geophysics. BGS works with the partner DAC for bathymetry at the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) to archive backscatter data. The majority of the data were collected and processed for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) under the Civil Hydrography Programme (CHP). Backscatter data is useful for seabed characterisation for geological and habitat mapping. View the backscatter image layer and download backscatter data (geotiff) via the BGS Offshore GeoIndex www.bgs.ac.uk/GeoIndex/offshore.htm. The data underlying the images are available on request enquiries@bgs.ac.uk. If further backscatter processing is required, BGS can provide a quote. View and download the related bathymetry data via the UKHO INSPIRE portal https://www.gov.uk/guidance/inspire-portal-and-medin-bathymetry-data-archive-centre.

Lineage:
LI_Lineage:
statement:
For BGS multibeam surveys processed backscatter data is created using CARIS software. 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 will make available. In some cases if there is no backscatter data already BGS may create processed backscatter from the raw data.
