Projects

  • Deep South Project: Developing of New Zealand Earth System Model link
    • A high resolution nested earth system model for the larger NZEEZ region has been developed, to improve the representation of the oceanic circulation around NZ and therefore climate projections for NZEEZ (600 kNZD)
    • Model development of NZESM, to improve simulation of climate extremes (500 kNZD)

 

  • Ross Sea MPA Project: How does the Ross Sea ecosystem respond to a changing climate? link
    • Simulating Ross Sea ecosystem (global BGC modelling + model development) (750 kNZD)
    • High-resolution modelling, Lagrangian studies, toothfish egg tracking (ROAM15)

 

  • E-coli and Enterococci modelling for Tasman Gold Bay (100 kNZD)
    • Unstructured grid modelling (SCHISM) with high-resolution atmospheric forcing NZCSM and river flows from TOPNET
    • Passive tracer simulations to model e-coli and enterococci bacteria concentrations

 

  • Stormy Seas Project: How does the Subtropical Front around New Zealand respond to changes in wind and sea level? link (300 kNZD)
    • Development of a high-resolution nested model (NZ20) to study variability and driving mechanisms of the STF around NZ
