Title
Guyot geomorphic feature layer
Abstract

The guyot geomorphic feature layer represents the spatial extent of the guyots of the worlds oceans based on interpretation of the SRTM30 plus v7 global bathymetry model. The layer is one of the 25 layers that make up the global seafloor geomorphic features map (Harris et.al. 2014). Guyots are “an isolated (or group of) seamount (s) having a comparatively smooth flat top. Also called tablemount(s)” (IHO, 2008). In this study the seamount base layer was used to mask the SRTM30_PLUS model. The gradient of the resulting grid was calculated (ArcGIS 10->DEM Surface Tools (Jenness 2012)->Slope, Slope computation method = 4-cell method). The gradient was classified into areas >2 degrees and areas <2 degrees. The areas less than two degrees were converted into vector layers. Where these occurred at the top of seamounts and were greater than a minimum size threshold (10 km2) they were flagged as possible guyots. These possible guyots were then visually checked...
