Tairawhiti Rain Gauge Collections - Mataki Marangai

Overview

This dataset contains rain gauge records collected by students in Tairāwhiti during the Mātaki Marangai project. The Mātaki Marangai project was a project run by Bodeker Scientific to engage school students in Tairāwhiti in weather observation and analysis. As part of this, students were given rain gauges to set up at homes and schools and encouraged to log daily rainfall, along with other comments relating to the weather and maramataka (Māori calendar). Further information on the project is given below. 

Time Period

The time period of this dataset is from Februrary 2024 to mid November 2024. The data are logged at irregular intervals due to the nature of the data collection. 

Project Information

The Mātaki Marangai project was run by Bodeker Scientific, in collaboration with He Oranga Trust and the New Zealand Meteorological Service. The project was co-funded by New Zealand's Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) Unlocking Curious Minds fund, and the MBIE Smart Ideas project DeepWeather.

As part of the project, automatic weather stations were set up at 8 schools in Tairāwhiti to collect rainfall and other atmospheric variables. This dataset is available on Zenodo here.

数据集概览

本数据集收录了泰拉怀蒂（Tairāwhiti）地区学生在马塔基·马拉奈（Mātaki Marangai）项目期间采集的雨量计观测记录。马塔基·马拉奈项目由博德克科学公司（Bodeker Scientific）发起，旨在吸引泰拉怀蒂地区的中学生参与气象观测与分析实践。项目期间，学生获配雨量计设备，可在家庭及学校场地架设，并被鼓励记录每日降雨量，同时补充与气象以及毛利历法（maramataka）相关的观测备注。项目更多细节如下。

数据时间跨度

本数据集的时间覆盖范围为2024年2月至2024年11月中旬。由于数据采集的自主特性，数据记录的时间间隔并不固定。

项目详情

马塔基·马拉奈项目由博德克科学公司（Bodeker Scientific）联合赫奥兰加信托（He Oranga Trust）与新西兰气象服务局共同执行。本项目由新西兰商业、创新与就业部（Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, MBIE）的「解锁好奇心计划」基金，以及MBIE智能创意项目「DeepWeather」联合资助。
