Meteorological Society of New Zealand Newsletter #143 Summer 2015/2016- Page 3 WELCOME TO 2016 Kia ora koutou I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy New Year – I hope 2016 is successful and enjoyable for you all. From a meteorological and climatological perspective there is cer- tainly plenty of interest. The substantial El Niño event currently un- derway is shaping up to be the strongest since the 1998 event. As well as in1luencing conditions across the 2aci1ic region, the effects of El i-o have been felt further a1ield, such as the record high temper, atures and rainfall e4perienced in 5ecember in the 6K 7where I have been staying for the last few months8. Furthermore, 2015 is likely to be warmest year in the instrumental record, again partly linked to the current El i-o event. 0lthough hardly needed, this puts even greater focus on the importance of the outcomes 7and further work re:uired8 of the recent 2aris climate summit. Closer to home, the ational Science Challenges are getting under, way, with the focus of the <5eep South’ challenge on our ability to an, ticipate, respond to, and adapt to a changing climate of particular relevance to many in the society. 0ll in all, there is lots to be interest, ed in and e4cited about> Best wishes, 5aniel.

I feel a little embar, rassed at not being able to attend my 1irst 0DM as 2resident " but I am currently on a 6,month sabbatical in Europe, making attendance a little dif1icult> So, thanks to everyone for putting up with my absence, and in particular to Games Lunny for chairing this 0DM in my place. In fact, I would like to start by e4pressing my gratitude to the whole committee for 2015 for all of their efforts " thanks to them my role has been much easier. Summary of activities for 2015 The committee met E times this year. Membership umbers have been relatively stable, and we continue to bene1it from the new MetService memberships. Website There have been good and not so good matters related to the website. E4isting Weather and Climate volumes on the website have been re,loaded to conform with various formatting is, sues for search engines. We now have volumes 1,1. and 28,3E on the web, with hopefully more to follow. 0ndrew Tait in particular has been instrumental in getting the volumes online this year. We have continued using the website for posting news and updates 7particular thanks to Bob Mc5avitt here8. 6nfortunately, the website email facility got hacked earlier in the year, so this feature had to be disabled. This has impacted general communication from the committee to the Society, in particular the newsletter K weekly updates circulated by Bob 7currently done through Mail, Chimp instead8, and advertisement of regional presentations of interest by the Lice 2resi, dents. We have made a start on resolving this issue, but have been slowed down by the lack of a speci1ic website of1icer on the committee. In liaison with Eddie Wealthall 7the web designerA Meteorological Society of New Zealand Newsletter #143 Summer 2015/2016- Page 6 technician responsible for the update of the website a few years ago8 some solutions have been proposed, but not yet acted upon " a task for the website of1icer in 2016. Gournal Weather and Climate is now mostly visible on Google Scholar – thanks to Andrew and others for formatting and uploading the articles to meet these standards. Requests have been put in to Web of Science and Scopus to have the journal recognized on their data bases. These re- quests are still active (these data bases take some time to assess the quality of the material in the journal). Following the reduction in costs by reducing the number of copies printed and distributing journal electronically, we have also identi1ied a new printing company to produce the remain, ing hard,copies that we create. This is e4pected to make further substantial savings " Lolume 35 will be the 1irst %ournal to come from the new printers. Lolume 35 of Weather and Climate is not yet out. There have been some dif1iculties this year in getting enough manuscripts to constitute a volume. 0n additional call for papers was sent out in September, with some success. We received a number of responses and hope to have enough papers ready to publish Lolume 35 before 2015 is out, although the timing is tight. The %ournal continues to publish interesting papers so hopefully this year is a one,off. Howev, er it is a matter for ongoing discussion how to maintain interest in the %ournal. 0 successful outcome in terms of inclusion in Web of Science and Scopus should help in this respect. ewsletter Thanks once again to Bob Mc5avitt, who continues to do a lot of hard work in producing the Metsoc newsletters. Regional meetings The Lice,2residents have been hampered somewhat by the aforementioned website issues, with fewer presentations advertised to the regions this year. By my count, 17 seminars have been advertised 7. for 5unedin, 8 for Wellington8. 0lthough there are some good reasons for the drop,off from 201E, I hope the L2s can be a bit more active ne4t year. Conferences The ovember 201E conference was held in Wellington, and was very successful with possibly a record number of attendees. The conference appro4imately broke,even 1inancially, follow, ing student grants and priBes. 0lthough sadly I am not here to en%oy it, on paper the conference this year sounds great " an interesting range of speakers in an interesting location. 0lthough smaller, the number of dele, gates is good for a non,main centre location. 0gain, we should be close to breaking,even for this year’s conference. The organisers have put a huge amount of effort in to setting up and running the conference. Mike Revell, Sam 5ean, 0ndrew Tait and Games Lunny have all con, tributed, but the lion’s share of the work has been done by Michael Martens 7advertisements, abstracts, programme8 and Tim Dunn 7all local logistics and organiBation8 " both deserve an enormous thankyou from me and the society. 0s indicated earlier in the year, the proposed %oint conference with the 0ustralian Meteorolo, gy and Oceanographic Society and the 0 N Climate Forum for February 2016 fell through, ow, ing to a couple of misunderstandings beyond our control. 0s a result this %oint conference will now take place in 2017, with dates provisionally booked for 7,10 th February. The likely venue will be the 0ustralian ational 6niversity 70 68 in Canberra. This booking will be 1inaliBed by early 2016. The 0 N Climate Forum is e4pected to take place on the 1inal day of the confer, ence.

  • Case Study: New Zealand
    Case Study: New Zealand Background Because of its geographic location, its dependence on tourism, and the absence of a comprehensive rail network, New Zealand has developed a large international and national airports network over the years. Until 1966, almost all New Zealand important airports were developed by the State and remained under the central Government ownership and management. There are three main international airports. First, Auckland Airport is the busiest and the main international airport. It is the only airport serving the Auckland metropolitan area, which gathers a third of the country’s total population. Second, Wellington International Airport is also a major domestic hub serving mainly business and government. International flights at Wellington Airport are principally from/to Australia. Third, Christchurch International Airport is the major international airport in the South Island, where it acts as the main hub and attracts a significant share of New Zealand’s international tourist traffic. There are other international airports in New Zealand, such as Dunedin, Hamilton, Queenstown, and Palmerston North, which also get flights from other countries (mainly Australia). Other commercial airports serve domestic and regional traffic. Commercialization/privatization: Airports The commercialization of New Zealand’s airports started early. First, the 1961 Joint Airport Scheme established the principles that resulted in both central and local governments jointly owning and operating airport facilities. The objective of this policy was both to benefit from the expertise of local governments on regional economic needs and opportunities, and to make local government directly invest in airport infrastructure. In 1974, 24 airports throughout New Zealand were under a joint venture ownership.

    Manawatu Region Sector Profiles 2010: Logistics and Supply Chain Providing you with a better understanding of the different components of the Manawatu Region economy and the contribution each sector makes to the demographic and economic growth of the region. Images below are courtesy of KiwiRail and NZ Post The sector profiles for the Manawatu have been developed by the Palmerston North City Council to provide a better understanding of the different components of the Manawatu economy and the contribution each sector makes to the demographic and economic growth of the region. Even within the broad industrial sectors of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) 2006 there can be a diverse range of activities undertaken and it is useful to understand which sectors are growing and are likely to grow in the future and their overall contribution to jobs and incomes in the region. The profiles are drawn primarily from Statistics New Zealand data. Background material on the logistics sectors was drawn from the book The Handbook of Logistics and Distribution Management (3rd edition) by Alan Rushton, Phil Croucher and Peter Baker. Valuable advice was also given by Walter Glass, Corporate Logistics 2010 Ltd.

Aotearoa/New Zealand +64 (0)4 905 2923 www.hikurangi.org.nz The Hikurangi Foundation is made possible by: The Tindall Foundation The Todd Foundation Disclaimer: The purpose of this report is to promote discussion and positive action. The views in this report are not necessarily the policy of the Hikurangi Foundation. 3 Foreword Hikurangi is about enabling action for a better way of life for New Zealanders. We would like to see a prosperous economy and strong society underpinned by a thriving environment. Climate change is an extremely serious threat to all of these things. But it can be tackled. In fact, acting on climate change and sustainable development is probably the only way businesses and communities will prosper in the long run. But we need forward-thinking action, now. We see the Tourism sector as critical, particularly domestic tourism, but we wanted to know more about the potential contribution to the solution that it could make. That’s why we commissioned this work to help us understand the carbon footprint of domestic tourism in New Zealand. Recent events and trends in the sector point to a potentially greater dependence on local tourism, but with its comparatively high carbon footprint (as this research reveals) this could be problematic for New Zealand.
