Interactions between the ocean, atmosphere and climate
The Antarctic/Southern Ocean region plays a key role in the global climate system and has a major influence on the weather and climate of New Zealand. NIWA is playing a key role in helping New Zealand and the world learn more about the Southern Ocean, subantarctic islands and Antarctica. This knowledge will help the response to the significant challenges this unique environment faces, such as climate change, a potential decline in biodiversity, and the use of the area's natural resources.
