GEBCO Global Bathymetry Grid Map Layers

gebcowms/wms-layers

The layers of the GEBCO Grid web map service (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans, operated by the British Oceanographic Data Centre): shaded relief and colour-shaded elevation images of the global 15 arc-second grid, versions with under-ice topography for Greenland and Antarctica, a layer showing which pixels rest on measured data, and the source type identifier grids. One record per layer with its name, title and queryable flag, plus the formats offered. Layer names are what a WMS GetMap request to wms.gebco.net/mapserv takes. Imagery is not for navigation or safety at sea. Summarised from the live capabilities document. GEBCO Grid, public domain, served by Eden Engine; not an official GEBCO product.
