For over 25 years The New Zealand Institute for Plant Food Research Ltd (PFR) and its antecedents have operated a network of weather stations in the main New Zealand horticultural regions Data from these stations have been applied to the analysis of trials and surveys and used for the development of disease models and horticultural software Access to the data has evolved from direct links between each weather stations dialup modem and the users computer to standalone MetWatch software to the webbased MetWatch Online and finally to the current Internet Protocol (IP)based system allowing directaccess via smartphones The most recent network upgrade to provide near realtime data via the 3G cellular network provides the focus for this review of the network and its applications We discuss opportunities for future development of equipment within the weather station network

AbstractThe net surface snow accumulation on the Antarctic ice sheet is determined by a combination of precipitation, sublimation and wind redistribution. We present a 1 year record of hourly snow-height measurements that shows its seasonal variability. The measurements were made with an ultrasonic sensor mounted on an automatic weather station (AWS) installed at LGB69, Princess Elizabeth Land, Antarctica (70.835˚S, 77.075˚E; 1850 ma.s.l.). The average accumulation at this site is approximately 0.70 m snow a–1. Throughout the winter, between April and September, there was little change in surface snow height. The strongest accumulation occurred during the period October–March, with four episodic increases occurring during 2002. These episodic events coincided with obvious humidity ‘pulses’ and decreases of incoming solar radiation as recorded by the AWS. Observations of the total cloud amount at Davis station, 160 km north-northeast of LGB69, showed good correlation with major accumulation events recorded at LGB69. There was an obvious anticorrelation between the lowest cloud height at Davis and the daily accumulation rate at LGB69. Although there was no correlation over the total year between wind speed and accumulation at LGB69, large individual accumulation events are associated with episodes of strong wind. Strong accumulation events at LGB69 are associated with major storms in the region and inland transport of moist air masses from the coast.
