We can supply a wide range of weather or climate monitoring instruments from single parameter sensors to fully equipped and installed climate stations.
NIWA operates over a hundred Electronic Weather Stations in its National Climate network. These stations are designed, manufactured installed and maintained to World Meterological Organization (WMO) standards.
NIWA's Compact Weather Stations are a popular '2nd tier' station suitable for agricultural and other applications. We can easily configure them to meet your requirements and they can be assembled quickly from a range of subassemblies available from the Christchurch store.
This page also links to information about some of the instruments that we use and recommend.
-
Analog Barometer - Vaisala PTB101
For WMO-standard accuracy and stability we use PTB101 to measure Barometric Pressure in many of our Electronic Weather Stations. -
Electronic Weather Station - NIWA EWS
These gather top-quality data and are used throughout New Zealand in the National Climate Network. -
RH/Temperature Probe - Vaisala HMP155
For WMO-standard accuracy and stability we use HMP155 probes to measure Relative Humidity and air temperature in our Electronic Weather Stations. -
RH/Temperature Probe - Vaisala HMP60
This miniature transmitter measures humidity from 0 to 100% and temperature from -40 to +60 degC. It uses little power, and you can remove its sensor to simplify calibration. -
Rain Gauge - OTA OSK15180T
This is the standard precision instrument NIWA uses throughout New Zealand in the National Climate Network, and elsewhere, for rainfall measurement. -
Weather Transmitter - Vaisala WXT536
This Weather Transmitter is a compact and lightweight multi-sensor instrument that measures the six most essential weather parameters and has no moving parts.
