Antarctic project
NZPA staff correspondent Washington Atmospheric tracers will be released from Christchurch and from near the South Pole later this year in a bid to understand how Antarctic weather patterns influence world-wide climates.
The project is being'coordinated by Dr Paul Guthals. of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. His team will check air flows to the periphery of the Antarctic continent. The tracer, to be released from Christchurch, will provide data on the flow of air returning to Antarctica.
The tracers work bymeasuring pollutants-such as carbon dioxide and suspended particles in the atmosphere.
