[ncl-talk] Antarctic map outline database

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Manisha,

We generally recommend shapefiles as a source of more up-to-date,
higher-res map-data. There is a shapefile for Antarctica at:

     gadm.org

There are also a number of examples of using shapefiles with NCL at:

    http://ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/shapefiles.shtml

Hope that helps...

Rick
