Lauder, New Zealand
Lauder is a small settlement in the Otago Region of the South Island of New Zealand. It is located in Central Otago, 5 km northeast of Omakau, on the main route between Alexandra and Ranfurly, State Highway 85. The settlement was named after the town of the same name in southern Scotland,〔Reed, A.W. (1975) ''Place names of New Zealand.'' Wellington: A.H. & A.W. Reed. p. 223〕 one of many Otago sites to be named after places in the Scottish borders by John Turnbull Thomson.〔(Lauder ) at visit-newzealand.com Retrieved 11 April 2015.〕
Lauder had a station on the former Otago Central Railway, now defunct, and served as a railway servicing town from the time the rails reached the town in 1904.〔 It remains a popular stopover on the Otago Central Rail Trail.〔(Otago Central Rail Trail )〕 Lauder is the closest settlement to the Poolburn Gorge, a popular sight on the rail trail.
Lauder's major claim to fame is its clear skies and low humidity, which has made it an idea site for a NIWA climate research institute. NIWA's Lauder site is an important part of a global scientific research network, and New Zealand's principal atmospheric research centre, and is the only fully instrumented Southern Hemisphere mid-latitude site in the global Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change (NDSC), providing information on ozone depletion and on climate change. It operates one of only four instruments in the world capable of measuring all the molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) in an entire air "column", from the ground to the top of the atmosphere.〔(Lauder Atmospheric Research Station ), NIWA. Retrieved 11 April 2015.〕 The clear night air around Lauder also makes the area popular with both amateur and professional astronomers.
