A Site Atmospheric State Best Estimate of Temperature for Lauder, New Zealand (1997-2012)

A Site Atmospheric State Best Estimate (SASBE) of the temperature profile above the GCOS (Global Climate Observing System) Reference Upper-Air Network (GRUAN) site at Lauder, New Zealand, has been developed. Data from multiple sources are combined within the SASBE to generate a high temporal resolution data set that includes an estimate of the uncertainty on every value. The SASBE has been developed to enhance the value of measurements made at the distributed GRUAN site at Lauder and Invercargill (about 180 km apart), and to demonstrate a methodology which can be adapted to other distributed sites. Within GRUAN, a distributed site consists of a cluster of instruments at different locations. The temperature SASBE combines measurements from radiosondes and automatic weather stations at Lauder and Invercargill, and ERA5 reanalysis, which is used to calculate a diurnal temperature cycle to which the SASBE converges in the absence of any measurements. The SASBE provides hourly temperature profiles at 16 pressure levels between the surface and 10 hPa for the years 1997 to 2012. Every temperature value has an associated uncertainty which is calculated by propagating the measurement uncertainties, the ERA5 ensemble SDs, and the ERA5 representativeness uncertainty through the retrieval chain. This best-estimate temperature data product for Lauder is expected to be valuable for satellite and model validation as measurements of atmospheric essential climate variables are sparse in the Southern Hemisphere. A publication describing the data product is submitted to Earth System Science Data Discussions. The title of the publication is: Combining Data from the Distributed GRUAN Site Lauder-Invercargill, New Zealand, to Provide a Site Atmospheric State Best Estimate of Temperature.

Mangrove Water Level Study, Tauranga New Zealand

Data is from a field study in the Pahoia area of Tauranga New Zealand.  The field log details the entire data collection effort, but only water level data is presented.  The study site is characterized by short dense mangrove vegetation and deeply incised drainage channels.  Data contains a full spring/neap tidal cycle

Mangrove Field Study, Firth of Thames New Zealand, November 2016

Data provided is from a University of Waikato field study in a mangrove forest in the Firth of Thames, New Zealand.  The Field Log details all efforts of the data collection.  Data products presented here only relate to water level (with respect to a fixed vertical datum).  A storm event coinciding with spring tide created a 10-year high water event captured during the deployment.  The data has a high level of spatial and temporal detail of the flood event, as well as normal tidal cycles, in a single cross-shore transect.

Geospatial data and 3D representation of Maungataketake, Auckland, New Zealand

Context Maungataketake (Ellett’s Mountain) was a volcanic cone on the shore of the Manukau Harbour, Mangere, New Zealand. In the second half of the twentieth century the mountain was quarried away. Maungataketake was a terraced Māori Pā, and archaeological excavations (only now in the process of being published) were undertaken there between 1972 and 1975, and in 1982, prior to its complete destruction. There is aerial imagery of the mountain available that depicts the mountain prior to quarrying. With these data a 3D model of the site was made using photogrammetry, which was also used to create a digital surface model (DSM) and contour map of the mountain. The resulting data is provided here and is aimed for further geospatial applications. In addition, the resolution of the provided DSM has analogues for the wider region and therefore could be incorporated to represent the landscape pre-destruction. Further to this a representation of the 3D model may be found on <a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/maungataketake-9a58745853154b88ac9bde1a74025cc4">SketchFab</a>.   Method The photogrammetry model was created in Agisoft Metashape version 1.5.4. Ten aerial images were used of Maungataketake and the surrounding area, captured on 19th August 1960. These images were downloaded from http://retrolens.co.nz and are licensed by LINZ CC-BY 3.0. The model was aligned and the spare point cloud filtered by gradual selection with the following parameters: projection error = 0.2; reconstruction uncertainty = 10; projection accuracy = 2.5. The dense cloud was processed with depth maps of ultra high quality and aggressive filtering. The resulting points cloud was edited to remove outlying points and processed into a 3D model. The resulting 3D model was manually edited to remove faces representing trees on Maungataketake only, but not the surrounding area. This was done as to obtain representative surface contours of the mountain. The model was georeferenced by the identification of points on the landscape present on the 1960 composite image and contemporary satellite imagery. A 0.5 m DSM and contours at 1 m resolution were calculated of Maungataketake.   Contents of dataset <ul> <li>A geodatabase with: <ul> <li>Control points used for georectification</li> <li>1 m contours without elevation of Maungataketake</li> <li>1 m contours with elevation of Maungataketake</li> <li>0.5 m composite aerial image</li> <li>0.5 m DSM of area covering control points</li> <li>0.5 m DSM of Maungataketake</li> </ul> </li> <li>Aerial photographs Crown_583-1924_22-26, Crown_583_1925_22-26</li> <li>Licence for aerial photographs from http://retrolens.co.nz</li> <li>Attributes of aerial photographs</li> </ul>
