Abstract

A dynamic map of the Pacific sector of the Antarctic waters is charted, based on numerous materials collected for the summer- autumn season of the Southern Hemisphere. The level of 3000 dcb deep is assumed as the zero Surface. Significant influence is revealed of the bottom relief on the circulation of waters.
