CliFlo - New Zealand's National Climate Database
The climate database holds data from about 6500 climate stations which have been operating for various periods since the earliest observations were made in the year 1850. The database continues to receive data from over 600 stations that are currently operating
Environmental Information-
Snow and Ice Network
Research ProjectNIWA has established a network of high elevation electronic weather stations to provide a solid basis to understand seasonal patterns and long-term changes to seasonal snow and ice in alpine regions of New Zealand. -
Cost-effective sampling for urban streams and stormwater
Water quality in urban streams and stormwater systems is frequently poor and highly variable, across both space and time. Traditional monthly grab sampling is rarely adequate to characterise contaminant concentrations during wet weather events. -
Stream periphyton monitoring manual
This manual prescribes a set of sampling and analysis protocols applicable to most of the common stream habitats in New Zealand. -
Water Quality Monitoring Capabilities
Research ProjectNIWA provides national capabilities in Water Quality Monitoring -
Sediment and urbanisation
How does urbanisation increase sediments in waterways? -
NIWA Instrument Systems
Instrument Systems is a specialised technology-focused consulting group within NIWA. -
Climate stations and instruments
We can supply a wide range of weather or climate monitoring instruments from single parameter sensors to fully equipped and installed climate stations. -
New Zealand from space
This daily image of New Zealand from space was created using data from one of NASA's EOS satellites, collected at our receiving station in Lauder, Central Otago.
