Process Steps
Process Step 1
| Description: |
Using a 1km resolution bathymetry file, depth contours were created at 10m intervals using ArcToolbox's Contour Tool. (ArcToolbox<Spatial Analyst Tools<Surface<Contour) |

| Email Address: | Robert.OConner@noaa.gov |
| Source: | SOEST |
Process Step 2
| Description: |
The layer's properties were changed to display the unique values for the contours. Applying the Definition Query's Query Builder, the 240m contour polyline was isolated and exported as a shapefile. |
|---|
Process Step 3
| Description: |
The completed polyline was converted to a polygon using Arctoolbox's Feature to Polygon Tool. (ArcToolbox<Data Management Tools<Feature<Feature to Polygon) |
|---|
Process Step 4
| Description: |
Using Arctoolbox's Smooth Polygon Tool, the polygon was smoothed using a Bezier algorithm. (ArcToolbox<Cartography Tools<Generalization<Smooth Polygon) |
|---|
Process Step 5
| Description: |
The smoothed polygon was reprojected to GCS WGS 84. (ArcToolbox<Data Management Tools<Projections and Transformations<Project) |
