| A variety of source data were used in constructing the maps: - |
- The position of the Antarctic Polar Front is from: Moore, J.K., Abbott, M.R. & Richman, J.G. 1999, Location and dynamics of the Antarctic Polar Front from satellite sea surface temperature data. Journal of Geophysical Research, 104, C2, 3059-3073.
- The positions of ice, subantarctic and subtropical fronts and CWB are from M. Tomczak & J. S. Godfrey, Regional Oceanography: an Introduction, 2002.
- SST data are means for years 1988 - 1998 derived from AVHRR data.
- Chlorophyll-a data are means for 1998-2004 derived from the maps published by the SeaWiFS project.
