Title: Hourly Observations and Monthly and Annual Climatic Data for Poland (1811-1927)

Description:

Abstract:

The climate data resides in 4 books, 'Bulletin Meteorolgique Publie Par L'Intitut Central Meteorologique a Varsovie' (C/dbb AO-p) written in Polish and French. The data contained in these books are tables of hourly observations from 1926 to 1927 and daily, monthly, and annual surface climatic data for Polish cities from 1811 to 1927. Parameters included in the hourly observations are pressure, temperature, vapor pressure, cloud cover, humidity, and winds. Daily variables for each individual month are snow depth and precipitation. Monthly parameters for each individual month represented in these data are the following: mean temperature and pressure; mean maximum and minimum temperature; temperature deviation from selected periods; precipitation amount days of precipitation; and wind direction frequency. Monthly precipitation, only for Warsaw, is averaged over the period and includes monthly mean amount, variations of the monthly mean, and annual variations from the period of record. Maps included in these data are mean monthly isotherms, isobars, and precipitation amounts. These are for each individual month from 1926 to 1927. Additional climate data resides in 3 books, 'Pameitnik Fizyjograficzny Wydawany Staraniem Tome II' (C/dbb AO-wp) written in Polish and French. The data contained in these books are tables of hourly observations from 1881 to 1888 and daily, seasonal, and annual surface climatic data for Polish cities from 1826 to 1888. Parameters included in the hourly observations are pressure, temperature, ozone, cloud cover, humidity, precipitation, and winds. Daily parameters for each month incorporated in these data are mean pressure, humidity, wind direction, ozone, cloudiness, and precipitation totals. Daily variables averaged over the period include normal pressure and temperature, and mean maximum and minimum pressure. Seasonal parameters included in these data are mean seasonal temperature for each year and averaged over the period, and the difference of temperature between the hottest and coldest months. An annual parameter is the absolute maximum and minimum temperature for the period. 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.
