Please note that the longitude range for the global WMS extends from -180 to 360 degrees to allow plotting centred on 180 degrees. Using the information given in the GetCapabilities request, the user can specify parameters such as the required layer, the geographic extent of the map and the size of the returned image.

The information is returned in the form of a XML file (you may need to save this to disk to view the information). This request returns information about the layers contained in the service, for example, their content and geographic extent.

Please note: the current WMS is based on the GEBCO_2022 Grid.

These layers can be viewed in a web browser or Geographic Information System (GIS) and incorporated in your own web application. Layers are available as a shaded relief image or 'flat' map and the GEBCO Type Identifier (TID) grid. These maps can be viewed in a web browser or Geographic Information System (GIS) and incorporated in your own web application. The GEBCO grid is available as a Web Map Service (WMS), a means of accessing geo-referenced map images over the internet.
