Rainfall time series from Microwave link
Data extends on previous temperature and conductivity (salinity) monitoring. This component will be from two sites - one in Doubtful Sound, and one in Milford Sound.
Temperature data between the surface and 850m deep from expendable probes (XBTs) dropped from container ships. See: http://www-hrx.ucsd.edu/
Model output comparisons, testing
DNA sequence data for two loci obtained from processing & analysis of up to 100 specimens contained within the NIWA Invertebrate Collections. The resulting data matrix will be approximately 100 (specimens) x 2000 (bp; DNA sequence).
ROMS and DeltaFM/DelWAQ set-up files for constructing water quality simualtions for Firth of Thames/Hauraki Gulf aquaculture systems files will be in various formats: plain text, netCDF and perahps even some Deltares proprietary binary
Daily flow data from Rangitaiki at Te teko is emailed to Fonterra
Oreti Beach toheroa survey (MPI project TOH201801)NIWA Dunedin team will survey Oreti Beach in Southland in February 2019. Quadrats of 0.5 m2 are dug every 5 metres along randomly allocated transects within strata oriented from high to low water. Data collected are toheroa numbers, size, and distribution along/up and down the beach. Some transects will be sieved to locate very small juveniles. Data are archived in the MPI 'Beach' database.
