Continue using the dataset from Kim and Wessel 2011 (n=24,643 seamounts) and applying 3 classes by summit depth (from surface), adopting the depth intervals from Clark et al 2011:

  1. 0–200 m
  2. 201–800 m
  3. 801–3500 m

Using Seamounts - Kim and Wessel 2011/KWSMTSv01.txt:

  1. Height: # Col 6: Seamount height obtained from the prediced bathymetry TOPO V12 (in m)
  2. Depth: # Col 9: Regional depth of each seamount (in m)
summit depth = Depth - Height
