The analysis of sea surface temperature temporal variability has correct to spatial position of Southern ocean northern boundary, and the analysis of sea level anomalies calculated to satellite altimetry has correct to spatial position of Antarctic Circumpolar Currents (ACC) boundaries. It is shown, that determination of ACC boundaries as isolines 112 cm and 30 cm (northern and southern accordingly) of mean dynamic topography.
Keywords: Southern Ocean, Antarctic Circumpolar Current, borders, sea surface temperature, sea level anomaly, satellite radiometry, satellite altimetry
