Uphando lwe-hydrography luqala kwi-Bay of Plenty eNew Zealand

Uphando lwe-hydrological lokumakisha umgangatho wolwandle lweBay of Plenty eNew Zealand luqale kule nyanga, luqokelela idatha ejolise ekuphuculeni ukhuseleko lokuhamba ngenqanawa kumazibuko nakwiindawo zokufikela. IBay of Plenty lichweba elikhulu elunxwemeni olusemantla lweNorth Island eNew Zealand kwaye yindawo ephambili yemisebenzi yolwandle.

I-Arhente yoLwazi loMhlaba yaseNew Zealand (i-LINZ) ijongana nophando kunye nokuhlaziywa kweshadi kumanzi aseNew Zealand ukuphucula ukhuseleko lwaselwandle. Ngokutsho koMhloli oPhezulu we-hydrographic, uphando oluseBay of Plenty luza kwenziwa ngumqambi wezakhiwo ngezigaba ezibini. Imifanekiso iza kuqala ukupeyinta iimaphu zaselwandle kufutshane neTauranga kunye neWhakatne. Abemi bendawo banokubona inqanawa yophando, enokwenza uphando iiyure ezingama-24 ngosuku.

Iinqanawa ezaphukileyo kunye neenduli ezingaphantsi kolwandle

Olu phando lusebenzisa izandi zesandi ezininzi ezifakwe kwiinqanawa ukwenza imifanekiso eneenkcukacha ze-3D yomgangatho wolwandle. Ezi modeli zibalaseleyo zibonisa iimpawu zangaphantsi kwamanzi ezifana nokuqhekeka kweenqanawa kunye neenduli ezingaphantsi kolwandle. Olu phando luza kuhlola iingozi zomgangatho wolwandle. Olu phando luza kuphanda inani leenkunkuma ezingaphantsi kolwandle, amatye kunye nezinye iimpawu zendalo ezibeka umngcipheko ekuqhutyweni kolwandle.

Ekuqaleni kowama-2025, inqanawa encinci, iTupaia, iza kudwelisa amanzi angaphantsi komhlaba ajikeleze iPoptiki njengenxalenye yesigaba sesibini. UWilkinson ugxininise ukubaluleka kweetshathi ezihlaziyiweyo kubo bonke abaqhubi beenqanawa: “Yonke indawo yamanzi aseNew Zealand esiyihlolayo iyahlaziywa ukuqinisekisa ukuba abemi baseNew Zealand, iinkampani zokuhambisa imikhumbi kunye nabanye abaqhubi beenqanawa banolwazi lwamva nje lokuhamba ngokukhuselekileyo.”

Nje ukuba isetyenzwe kunyaka olandelayo, iimodeli ze-3D zedatha eqokelelweyo ziya kufumaneka simahla kwinkonzo yedatha ye-LINZ. Olu phando luya kongeza idatha ye-bathymetric eyayiqokelelwe ngaphambili kwiBay of Plenty, kuquka idatha yonxweme evela kuvavanyo lwetekhnoloji ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka. “Olu phando luzalisa izikhewu zedatha kwaye lubonelela ngomfanekiso ocacileyo weendawo esizaziyo ukuba zihamba ngoolwandle,” utshilo uWilkinson.

Ngaphaya kokukhangela, idatha inamandla amakhulu okusetyenziswa kwezenzululwazi. Abaphandi kunye nabacwangcisi banokusebenzisa iimodeli zokubonisa itsunami, ulawulo lwezixhobo zaselwandle kunye nokuqonda ukwakheka kunye nolwakhiwo lomgangatho wolwandle. Bagxininise ukubaluleka kwayo ngokubanzi, besithi: “Olu lwazi luya kusinceda siqonde imo kunye nohlobo lomgangatho wolwandle, nto leyo eluncedo kakhulu kubaphandi kunye nabacwangcisi.”

Singabonelela ngee-sensors ze-radar ze-hydrographic ezikumgangatho ophezulu onokukhetha kuzo
