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.
