Atmospheric analysis

A cluster of five Early Childhood Education centres in South Auckland are leading the way for our next generation by combining participatory science for under 5’s into their daily teaching.

New Zealand scientists are part of an international team that has documented duelling ocean and atmospheric heat transport during periods of abrupt climate change.

The Southern Ocean is under-sampled. Data collected continuously during the Antarctic Ecosystems Voyagehelped fill an important knowledge gap about oceanographic and atmospheric processes in this important region.

A new method of testing air quality in towns around New Zealand has been developed by NIWA scientists that could revolutionise the way communities can measure and control pollution.

There was a common factor in the floods that hit swathes of New Zealand midway through this year – they were all forecastable.

Scientists based at NIWA’s research station in Central Otago are undertaking a new set of experiments to determine how the atmosphere affects the performance of solar panels.
