During the past week, white plumes of steam and gas have been visible from the Bay of Plenty coast and small amounts of sulphur dioxide gas have been detected by satellite sensors. Aircraft observations over the past weekend confirmed steam‑and‑gas being emitted from the active vent, but with no signs of erupted ash or rock on the crater floor. The Volcanic Alert Level remains at 2 and the Aviation Colour Code at Yellow.
Welcome, haere mai to another GeoNet Data Blog. Today, we share some news about upcoming changes to one of the systems we use to share data with our users, https://data.geonet.org.nz (now officially renamed as our ‘GeoNet Data API’). We will tell you a bit more about the GeoNet Data API, its history, what is changing, and if you need to do something about it.
Over the past few years, we have been adapting the GeoNet sensor network to ensure it is able to meet design criteria and remains fit for purpose in the years to come. Today we look to make sure we invest in line with changing priorities and a dynamic operating environment.
