OverseerFM utilises climate data from the NIWA virtual climate network (VCN) which provides annual climate data inputs for a given reference point on a 500m grid.
In the interests of simplifying the data entry requirements for creating a new analysis, the Overseer team are focused on enabling more effortless ingress of data. In line with this focus, we have identified that the rainfall data from the VCN includes snowfall. This means it is no longer necessary to manually add snowfall data in. This will save data-entry time and reduce the possibility of data-entry error.
This has also enabled us to remove the "climate" data entry tab - reducing the cognitive load on users.
