Information on fixed-site ocean temperature data (sampling < 3h) within NZ EEZ
RC made this Official Information request to Archives New Zealand Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga
Currently waiting for a response from Archives New Zealand Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).
From: RC
I am a Master of Science student in Marine Science. I am seeking information on whether Archives New Zealand holds any fixed-site water temperature data collected within New Zealand's Exclusive Economic Zone (NZ EEZ) from sensors such as moorings, buoys, seafloor instruments, wharf sensors or other loggers.
I would like to know:
- Sampling frequency: For any datasets you hold, what is the sampling interval (ideally less than three hours) and over what period were the data collected?
- Geographic coverage: For any datasets you hold, what are the approximate locations of the installations (e.g., specific harbour or region) and the general type of installation?
I do not require the data itself at this stage; I am simply requesting confirmation of whether such data are held and summary metadata describing the sampling frequency and geographic coverage.
Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
- Download a zip file of all correspondence
