Abstract:
The Mount Washington Observatory, located at the summit of New
Hampshire's Mount Washington, was first occcupied by the U.S. Signal
Signal Service from 1870-1892. The observatory was then reoccupied in
1932 and is currently still in operation. Since 1932 the observatory
staff have recorded continous climate records. Because of its unique
location and weather the observatory is also used to
... conduct valuable
scientific research and engineering testing programs. The highest wind
speed ever recorded on earth was taken at the observatory on April
12, 1934 (231 MPH).
The dataset available from the observatory's World Wide Web site
consist of Daily and Monthly weather reports taken by the summit weather
observers. The daily record begins on April 19, 1999 and continues to
the present. The monthly reports begin in March 1999. Historical Mount
Washington records may be obtained from the NOAA National Climatic Data
Center.
