Atmospheric analysis

Ocean water properties such as temperature are measured directly, while conductivity is used to tell us the salinity. It also captures water samples at different depths for a variety of chemical and biological measurements made either on the vessel or back in the laboratory.

Scientists have just completed a successful trip to Stewart Island, tagging 23 great white sharks.

NIWA is involved in research and consultation' aimed at improving the health of our freshwater systems.

This research project focusses on modelling atmospheric chemistry and climate from the surface to the top of the stratosphere, using sophisticated chemistry-climate models.
