Climate Data for Europe and Russia (1830-1872) and Pressure Patterns for Eastern Europe and Asia (1836-1885)
Entry ID: NCL00019_29

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Climate data for Europe and Russia resides in 27 books,
'Repertorium Fur Meteorologie' (C/db AO-3) and is written in Russian,
German, and French. The data contained in these books are tables of
hourly observations, and daily, monthly, and annual weather averages
for Europe and the USSR from 1830 to 1872. Hourly observations of
pressure are included in the tables. Daily data include surface mean
temperature and winds. The following monthly surface parameters are
included in the tables: mean maximum, minimum, and average
temperature, sea surface temperature, pressure, vapor pressure,
humidity, and magnetic declination; number of days of surface wind
frequency, clear skies, cloudy skies, rain, snow, hail, thunderstorms,
and fog; probability of surface wind direction bringing rain for each
month; and number of days that bring above normal weather. Annual
surface data include mean of pressure averaged over the period
1854-63, total number of days between different temperature ranges,
and earliest and latest frost dates.

The data for eastern Europe and Asia resides in 3 books, 'Repartition
Geographique De La Pression Atmospherique Sur Le Territoire De
L'Empire De Russie' (C/db I34, C/db R942r, C/db T578) and is written
in Russian and Danish. The data contained in these atlases are
monthly and annual surface pressure and temperature maps for Eastern
Europe and the USSR averaged over the period 1836 to 1885. These data
include monthly and annual mean isobars as well as July-January
pressure and temperature differences.

These books are part of the foreign meteorological data collection
held by the NOAA Central Library in Washington, DC. Information in
this collection dates back to the 18th century for daily, monthly,
seasonal, and annual tabular summaries, and the 19th century for
weather maps. These data are the result of foreign exchange
agreements, but the collection has not been updated since 1983.
