Mangōpare sensor terms
mangōpare sensor terms
Thank you for agreeing to be part of the Meteorological Service of New Zealand Limited’s (MetService’s) continuation of the collection of data following the completion of the Moana Project Mangōpare Sensor Programme. MetService continues to aim to change the way we observe the ocean, and by collaborating with you, MetService is making the most of this invaluable opportunity to gather vital ocean temperature information.
These Mangōpare Sensor Terms (these Terms) apply to the provision of scientific products by Metservice to you, and your agreement to access Scientific Products, Services and Data. By clicking Agree below, you are agreeing to comply with these Mangōpare Sensor Programme T&Cs (as amended by us from time to time). If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of another person (e.g. a business), you confirm you are authorised to, and do in fact, agree to these Terms on behalf of that person, and that your agreement to these Terms binds that other person to comply with these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, MetService appreciates your interest and accepts you do not wish to be part of the programme. Where you do not agree to these Terms, MetService will not be able to provide you access to Scientific Products, Services and Data. If you were part of the initial programme and no longer wish to continue your participation, termination of the original agreement is 31 March 2024, please return your Scientific Products to us by that date.
PURPOSE
MetService is agreeing to provide Scientific Products to collect and transmit in near real-time oceanographic temperature, pressure, geographical position, and time observation data for use in the development and/or improvement of ocean models, forecasts and other observation related data products, to increase understanding of New Zealand’s oceanographic Exclusive Economic Zone, for the purpose of improving the blue economy.
In return, MetService will use reasonable efforts to provide you (the Recipient), with Data (collected using the Scientific Products installed on your vessel and fishing equipment) via email within 24 hours of it being offloaded from the deck unit or alternative method agreed upon by both parties, in accordance with the Data Transfer Process. Further, to gain feedback from the Recipient to ensure that the Data Transfer Process provides meaningful information, and that Data is provided in a common format.
