Standardised soil moisture deficit 1979-1980
Ministry for the Environment"Soil moisture is important for plant growth. A lack of moisture content over a growing season is a good indicator of drought, which can have social, environmental, and economic impacts. Increasing temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns are expected to increase the frequency and intensity of drought in many regions. Growing season soil moisture...Created 2 February 2020 • Updated 3 May 2025 -

Nitrogen dioxide concentration at state highway sites 2007–13
Ministry for the EnvironmentNitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a gas. It can be emitted directly into the air but is most often formed when nitric oxide (NO) emissions react with other chemicals in the air. Nationally, road motor vehicles are the main human-made source of nitrogen oxides (NOx, the collective term for NO2 and NO). NO2 may cause respiratory infections and reduced lung...Created 2 February 2020 • Updated 3 May 2025 -
Sulphur dioxide annual trends, 2011-2020
Ministry for the EnvironmentSulphur dioxide (SO2) is a highly reactive gas formed when fuels containing sulphur, such as coal or petrochemical products (including high-sulphur ship fuel), are burned. It is also produced from industrial processes such as superphosphate fertiliser production and smelting sulphur-containing metal ores. Geothermal and volcanic gases are the main natural...Created 1 December 2021 • Updated 3 May 2025 -
Ocean and coastal extreme waves (6m), 2010
Ministry for the EnvironmentThese data estimate the occurence of extreme wave events in coastal and oceanic waters for 2010, particularly for wave events where significant wave height exceeds a threshold of 6 metres and for a period of at least 12 hours. Significant wave height is defined as four times the square root of the variance of sea surface elevation due to wave motion. This...Created 2 February 2020 • Updated 3 May 2025 -

Carbon monoxide concentrations and exceedances 2005–2013
Ministry for the EnvironmentCarbon monoxide (CO) is a gas formed by incomplete combustion of fuels, in particular from road motor vehicles and burning wood and coal for home heating. It also occurs naturally, for example, from wild fires. CO can affect human health by interfering with the blood’s ability to carry oxygen and by aggravating heart conditions. Road motor vehicles are...Created 2 February 2020 • Updated 3 May 2025 -
