Summary
Abstract:
The data resides in several books, one being 'Die Temperatureverhaltnisse Der Grosshezogtumer Mecklenburg' (C/dc 231 G) written in German. The data contained in this book are tables and graphs of daily, monthly, seasonal, and annual temperature data for Germany from 1850 to 1903. Five-day means are tabulated. The following monthly parameters for each month are included in these data: mean ... temperature; mean temperature difference; mean variability of the
temperature difference; mean of the daily means; highest daily mean in
a given year; lowest daily mean; mean daily maximum; mean daily
minimum; mean daily amplitude; number of days maximum and minimum is
<0, and maximum > 25. Monthly parameters averaged over the period
include: mean, mean absolute monthly and annual extreme; departure
from monthly and annual mean; and frequency of specific daily
means. Seasonal and annual parameters included in these data are the
mean temperature and departure of mean temperature. In addition, these
data feature graphs of continuous daily mean temperatures averaged
over the period, monthly means averaged over the period, and
continuous daily means of pressure, precipitation, relative humidity,
and vapor pressure only for the year 1875.
Additional data resides in 1 book, 'Die Beobachtungsergebniffe ber
Meteorolgifchen Stationen im Lande Branufchweig fur bie Jahre 1926 bis
1935' (C/dc 180 F738) written in German. The data contained in this
book are tables and graphs of daily, monthly, and annual
precipitation, surface temperature and winds for Germany from 1878 to
1935. The daily parameters for each month of the year included in
these data are: mean temperature; mean maximum and minimum
temperature; absolute maximum and minimum temperature; and snowfall at
7 A.M. and P.M. Monthly variables for each individual month
incorporated in these data are the following: precipitation amount;
greatest daily precipitation amount; heaviest rainfall in shortest
duration; number of days of snow, precipitation greater then a certain
intensity, fog, thunderstorms, clear skies, cloudy skies, ice, maximum
and minimum <0, maximum > 25, and frontal boundaries. Parameters
averaged over five and ten-year periods include: precipitation amount;
days of snow and days of precipitation greater then a certain
intensity; daily mean, maximum, and minimum temperature; and wind
direction frequency. The only annual parameter found in these data is
precipitation amount. There are graphs of annual precipitation and
mean precipitation and temperature in the vegetation months. These
graphs are for each individual year. Monthly precipitation and
temperature averaged over the period are also plotted on a graph.
German and other European data resides in 1 book, 'Die
Regenverhaltnisse des Konigreichs Hannover nebst ausfuhrlicher
Darstellung aller den Atmospharischen Niederschlag und die
Verdunstung' (C/dc 191 P) written in German. The data contained in
this book are tables and maps of monthly and annual precipitation and
evaporation data for Germany and European countries from 1743 to
1863. The following parameters for each month of the period are
included in these data: precipitation amount; greatest number of
consecutive days of precipitation and the amount; number of days of
rain, snow, precipitation, hail, and rain; greatest daily snowfall
amount; and evaporation amount from the rivers. Variables that are
averaged over the period are: mean of the evaporation; wind direction
associated with certain rainfall amounts; and winds for Northwest
Germany. Maps included in these data are annual precipitation and
monthly rainfall totals. These are averaged over the period.
European daily weather maps resides in 15 volumes, 'Zehntagiger
Witterungsbericht fur die Landwirthschaft' (C/dc 100 A2 ) written in
German. The data contained in these books are tables of daily surface
climate data for Germany and daily weather maps for Europe. These
data are for each individual year of the period 1902 to 1920. The
daily weather maps of Europe include isobars, isotherms, wind
direction and speed, and precipitation areas. The daily parameters
included in the data tables are the following: ten-day mean
cloudiness, mean maximum and minimum temperature, and rainfall totals;
maximum and minimum temperature; daily rainfall and cloud amounts, and
sunshine duration.
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.
