Atmospheric analysis

Short-term to long-term data estimation

The High Performance Computing Facility (HPCF) is supercharging New Zealand science.

Station height is in metres above mean sea level. Years of data are the number of complete years of data for the 1981 – 2010 period.

Mountainous areas are subject to heavy snowfalls, high winds, and low temperatures. Semi-permanent snow and ice fields exist at about 1000-1100 metres during winter.

Accurate reporting on the amount of fish and invertebrates that are caught and discarded by New Zealand’s commercial fishing industry is vital to effective management of these fisheries.

Tuna or freshwater eels are a very significant, widely-valued, heavily-exploited, culturally iconic mahinga kai resource.

Once in freshwater, glass eels develop into darker pigmented juvenile eels known as elvers.

A carbon neutral activity is one that has a carbon footprint of zero.

New Zealand’s forests and other land areas may be absorbing up to 60% more carbon dioxide than has been calculated, with much of this uptake likely occurring in native forests, NIWA scientists have discovered.

Water clarity or turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness in a fluid caused by individual small particles (suspended solids).
