主题：【原创】我们行星的金羊毛—ARGO计划简说 -- 抱朴仙人

虽然数目不多。小国家嘛，呵呵。本国已经购买了8个，计划是每年买两个。别的国家和组织在新西兰海域和附近另投放了十二个,外链出处

不过，说来也奇怪，从第一次到新西兰玩到在这里暂居，四个半夏天，四个春天里，三个秋天，三个冬天里，我从来没在这里遇到过国内所看到过的那种大台风。也没听说有海啸什么的。而新西兰和日本的纬度差不多，地理面积差不多，（但人口只有四百万），但在地震，海啸，台风的比例上来看，真的比日本少太多了。

该不是受到南极绕极波的影响吧。。。。呵呵。

查到一点新西兰ARGO的资料。

New Zealand，through the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research (NIWA), is actively involved in the Argo programme. Two floats were deployed north of New Zealand in September 2001。 NIWA has purchased roughly 2 floats peryear, and will purchase 2 further floats before June 2006. It is expected that we willcontinue to purchase and deploy 2 floats per year。

We have also deployed floats for other providers and are collaborating on largedeployments in the Pacific (with University of Washington and Scripps Institution ofOceanography) by contributing towards vessel costs.
