We’re pleased to announce the addition of several internationally recognised atmospheric observation datasets to the ESNZ DataHub. These datasets provide long-term, high‑quality measurements critical for climate, composition, and radiation research across New Zealand and Antarctica:
- WRMC‑BSRN (Lauder) – Baseline measurements of surface solar radiation, ultraviolet (UV), and aerosols from the World Radiation Monitoring Center network.
- WOUDC (Lauder) – Ozone and UV measurements contributed to the World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre under the WMO Global Atmosphere Watch programme.
- GRUAN (Lauder, Invercargill, Ross Island) – Reference-quality upper‑air observations of ozone, water vapour, and temperature from the Global Climate Observing System Reference Upper‑Air Network.
- COCCON (Lauder & Antarctica) – Column measurements of CO₂, CH₄, CO, H₂O and HDO from the Collaborative Carbon Column Observing Network.
- TCCON (Lauder) – High‑precision total column greenhouse gas measurements (including CO₂, CH₄, N₂O) from the Total Carbon Column Observing Network.
- NDACC (Lauder & Arrival Heights, Antarctica) – Long‑term records of greenhouse and trace gases, ozone, aerosols, water vapour and UV, with some series extending back to the 1980s.
