7:10 Sailing Straight On Straits
NIWA oceanographer Craig Stevens explains how half a million dollars worth of equipment just recovered from Cook Strait is providing more information about ocean flows than ever before.
Brett Grant deploys a turbulence profiler in Cook Strait. The turbulent mixing controls how waters travelling through the strait are re-distributed. This mixing affects the ocean circulation throughout the Central NZ region so that water originally say off Westport might find its way into the Marlborough Sounds, or pushed up past Castle Point or maybe even down into one of the canyons falling east from the Strait.

Our Own Odysseys
Tuesdays at 7:12pm
Kiwis are infamous for being found wandering in all sorts of far flung places…
Nights, being adventurous types ourselves, is keen to have you share the colourful and curious tales of your interesting journeys… the places you've seen, the people you've met, the food you tasted - recently or expeditions you've had in times gone by - a trek you took either by foot or pedal or kayak or ship or sail or train, in the 21st or 20th century…
Our Own Odysseys on Tuesday evenings at about a quarter past seven. Please do get in touch to reminisce on the wonders of the world that were encountered while you either cycled through Cambodia, kayaked down the Amazon, hiked through Wales, scrambled up Kilimanjaro, sailed to the Seychelles, flew by hot air balloon over Mongolia etc, etc nights@radionz.co.nz
