Welcome to CONA
Great, you found us!
In this case us is the Urban Air Quality and Health group from the National Institute of Water and Atmosphere in New Zealand (NIWA) and our objective with this platform is to document and share the development of our CONA project that started in August 2015 in Rangiora (New Zealand).
Have a look at the what is CONA page for more details about this project and maybe to register your interest in participating.
In the coming weeks, expect to see here comments and stories about how things go in this project, from "look at these great looking data! " to "I swear that if it didn't cost $20000 I'd throw this thing out the window right now!" Because every research project has a lot more "that's weird" and "but it worked before!" moments than what you'd guess from the pretty plots we generate in the end. And also because a big part of this project is to work closer with the resident community and for that we need to bring ourselves out from our labs and [mammoth] ivory towers
Another thing that we would like to do is to provide some reference material on topics related to air quality such as what is air pollution, what is an atmospheric inversion, how do you measure $PM_{10}$, etc. Look for those in the top bar of this page.
We hope that you will find this material interesting and useful and that this project helps us bring everyone together around the air quality discussion.
