Heat flow United Kingdom Web service

This Web service provides the BGS heat flow dataset as a Web Map Service (WMS). The British Geological Survey (BGS) heat flow model (United Kingdom) is derived from a catalogue of legacy heat flow data points and ground-heat modelling. The model portrays heat flow as a continuous modelled surface, interpolated between observation and estimation points. Heat flow data is typically used to determine temperatures beneath the ground surface, and model how much thermal energy may be recovered from or stored within.
