MetService operates a data collection network within New Zealand. It complies with recognised international standards as prescribed by the WMO over and around New Zealand. In particular, data are collected through: Surface observations over New Zealand; Upper air observations using a variety of means ground-based equipment, aircraft, weather radars
The MetService further downgraded Kevin to a Category 2 tropical cyclone at 18:00 UTC that same day, before it transitioned into a gale-force extratropical cyclone by 6 March. [ 57 ] [ 58 ] The remnants of the system continued southeastwards, before weakening below gale-force late on 8 March.
ASOS sensors, located at Salinas, California. Surface weather observations have traditionally been taken at airports due to safety concerns during takeoffs and landings. The ICAO defines the International Standard Atmosphere (also known as ICAO Standard Atmosphere), which is the model of the standard variation of pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity with elevation/altitude in the ...
Among them, Vince (third image in the first row) is the most intense with a minimum central pressure of 923 hPa. In 2025, tropical cyclones will form in seven major bodies of water, commonly known as tropical cyclone basins.
The JTWC also discontinued warnings on the system around 21:00 UTC that day [22] Gabrielle was downgraded to a Category 2 tropical cyclone by the MetService. [23] During 11 February, after Gabrielle had passed directly over Norfolk Island, the BoM and MetService reported that Gabrielle had weakened into a deep subtropical low. [24] [25]
Map of pressure systems across North America. A pressure system is a peak or lull in the sea level pressure distribution, a feature of synoptic-scale weather.The surface pressure at sea level varies minimally, with the lowest value measured 87 kilopascals (26 inHg) and the highest recorded 108.57 kilopascals (32.06 inHg).
During that day, the system moved towards the southeast before it was last noted during the next day as it moved into the subtropics and MetService's area of responsibility. [56] Tropical Disturbance 16F developed along a surface trough of low pressure, to the northwest of Wallis and Futuna, in an area of weak vertical wind shear during March 22.
In early October 2024, MetService had reported low-pressure system approaching New Zealand from the Tasman Sea, bringing warm and humid air across the country.These rain-bearing easterly winds swept into Dunedin, the coastal Clutha District and eastern Otago throughout 3 and 4 October, soaking an already inundated region which had already experienced wet weather.
