This line shapefile represents the following features of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current:

Subtropical Front (STF);

Subantarctic Front (SAF);

Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current Front (sACCf);

Polar Front (PF);

Southern Boundary of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current


as described in


Alejandro H. Orsi, Thomas Whitworth III, and Worth D. Nowlin Jr (1995) On the meridional extent and fronts of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Deep-Sea Research 42 (5), 641-673.


The shapefile was created from data provided by lead author Alejandro Orsi to the Australian Antarctic Data Centre in August 2001. The data in the files from Alejandro Orsi was also combined in a csv file.

The data available for download includes the original data, the shapefile and the csv file.
