Description
Data for A History of Open Weather in New Zealand (HOWNZ): an open access 1 km resolution monthly 1910-2019 time-series of interpolated temperature and rainfall grids with associated uncertainty
There is data for both:
- nni: the variable estimate from natural neighbour interpolation
- unc: the uncertainty of the variable estimate
for four weather variables:
- rain: total rainfall
- tavg: mean air temperature
- tmin: mean daily minimum air temperature
- tmax: mean daily maximum air temperature
and these variables help form the file names alongside the year and month.
So for example, nni-rain-1910-01.tif contains the natural neighbour interpolated values for total rainfall in January 1910, and unc-tavg-1979-05.tif contains the uncertainty values for mean air temperature in May 1979.
For storage efficiency when archiving the data, all data value were multiplied by 10 so that they could be stored as 16 bit integer files. Therefore, all the data needs to be divided by 10 to restore the actual data values before the data is used for any analysis.
