Title: Surface Weather Data for Cordoba, Tucuman, Chaco, San Javier, Puerto Deseado, Buenos Aires, and La Plata, Argentina (1882-1927)

Description:

Abstract:

The Cordoba data resides in 1 book, 'Observaciones Meteorologicas Practicadas en Cordoba (Republica Argentina) Durante el Ano 1886 ' (C/hd30 D652 30901) written in Spanish. In these summaries, definitions are: 1. Hourly/daily/monthly/seasonal/annual data - values determined for each consecutive period, e.g., monthly temperature data: Jan 1900, Feb 1900, etc. 2. Long-term data - values determined over a period of years, e.g., long-term monthly temperature data using Jan 1900, Jan 1901, etc. This book contains tables of hourly, daily, ten-day, monthly, and annual surface weather data from Cordoba, Argentina for 1886. Soil temperature data are given through February 1887. The tables contain the following data: hourly pressure, temperature, humidity, evaporation, vapor pressure, and soil temperature at varying depths; daily absolute maximum and minimum temperature, and surface soil temperature; daily total evaporation; ten-day mean maximum and minimum temperature, and surface soil temperature; ten-day mean (given hour) temperature, and soil temperature at varying depths; ten-day total evaporation; ten-day total (given hour) evaporation; monthly mean pressure, temperature, wet bulb temperature, humidity, cloudiness, evaporation, and soil temperature at varying depths; monthly mean maximum and minimum temperature, and surface soil temperature; monthly mean (given hour) pressure, temperature, humidity, vapor pressure, cloudiness, temperature, and soil temperature at varying depths; monthly absolute maximum and minimum pressure, temperature, and soil temperature; monthly absolute maximum precipitation; monthly total precipitation, (given hour) observations of wind direction, and observations of rainfall; monthly number of days with rainfall, snow, hail, thunder and lightning, drizzle, cloudiness, and (given hour) observations of wind direction; monthly number of daily observations of wind direction; monthly percentage of annual rainfall; annual mean pressure, temperature, wet bulb temperature, humidity, cloudiness, evaporation, and soil temperature at varying depths; annual mean maximum and minimum temperature, and surface soil temperature; annual mean (given hour) pressure, temperature, humidity, evaporation, cloudiness, and soil temperature at varying depths; annual absolute maximum and minimum pressure, temperature, and surface soil temperature; annual absolute maximum precipitation; annual total precipitation, (given hour) observations of wind direction, and observations of rainfall; annual number of days with rainfall, snow, hail, thunder and lightning, lightning, drizzle, cloudiness, and (given hour) wind direction; annual number of daily observations of wind direction. Additional Cordoba data resides in 1 book, 'Presion Atmosferica de Cordoba de Media en Media Hora' (C/hd30 D652 P618) written in Spanish. In these summaries, definitions are as in the above. This book contains tables of surface pressure data from Cordoba, Argentina for the months of January and February, 1882, 1883, and 1884. The tables contain the following data: half-hourly pressure; ten-day mean (given half-hour) pressure; and monthly mean (given half-hour) pressure. The Tucuman data resides in 1 book, 'La Lluvia en Tucuman' (C/hd27 H452 50080) written in Spanish. In these summaries, definitions are as in the above. This book contains tables and graphs of monthly, seasonal and annual mean rainfall data for the province of Tucuman, Argentina. The date of publication seems to be 10-18-1928, and the oldest data go back 43 years. The period of the data is, therefore, approximately 1884-1927. Data are given for the individual reporting stations, for the individual departments of the province, and for the province as a whole. The tables contain the following data: long-term monthly mean rainfall; long-term seasonal mean rainfall, and monthly rainfall; and long-term annual mean rainfall. The graphs contain the following data: long-term monthly mean rainfall; long-term seasonal mean rainfall, and monthly rainfall; and long-term annual mean rainfall. The Chaco data resides in 1 book, 'El Campo del Cielo' (C/hd05 B962 P4377) written in Spanish. In these summaries, definitions are as in the above. This book contains tables of hourly surface weather data from the Campo del Cielo region of the province of Chaco in Argentina for January 1899. The book is an extract from a report by a member of a scientific expedition to the region and is primarily a narrative of observations of the natural conditions of the region. The tables contain hourly pressure, temperature, humidity, wind direction, wind force, cloud types, and general observations. The narrative contains data and information on soil composition, ground cover and vegetation, ground water, dew, storms, and general weather conditions. The San Javier data resides in 1 book, 'Observaciones Meteorologicas Hechas en Mil Nogales (Cordoba) por el Senor D. Ramon J. Moreno' (C/hd30 D652 P619) written in Spanish. In these summaries, definitions are as in the above. This book contains tables of hourly, daily, ten-day, and monthly surface weather data from San Javier, Argentina (Departmento de San Alberto, Cordoba Province) for January through October of 1884. Daily tables are complete for the period with the sole exception of a 6 day period (September 6-11). Cloudiness data are observations of cloud cover measured in a 1 to 10 scale. The tables contain the following data: hourly temperature, cloudiness, wind direction, and wind force; daily mean temperature and cloudiness; daily observations of storms and other unusual weather conditions; ten-day mean temperature and cloudiness; monthly mean temperature and cloudiness; monthly number of days with cloudiness, rainfall, hail, thunder and lightning, lightning, and fog; and monthly wind direction frequency. The Puerto Deseado data resides in 1 book, 'Puerto Deseado' (C/hd30 B962p 22040) written in Spanish. In these summaries, definitions are as in the above. This book, which is a report on the suitability of an area for starting a town, contains one table of hourly, daily, and monthly surface weather data from Puerto Deseado, Argentina for May of 1900. The table contains the following data: hourly temperature; daily minimum temperature; and monthly range of pressure and humidity. The Buenos Aires data resides in 6 books, 'Boletin Mensual de la Direccion General de Estadistica (C/hd03 Ao) written in Spanish. In these summaries, definitions are as in the above. The data contained in these books are six and ten-day surface weather data for Buenos Aires, Argentina. These data are for the period 1900 to 1915. Data from 1913 to 1915 are incomplete. The tables contain the following data: Six-day mean maximum and minimum temperature; and Ten-day total precipitation. The La Plata data resides in 5 books, 'Anuario Del Observatorio De La Plata' (C/hd 30 L31 Ao) written in Spanish. In these summaries, definitions are as in the above. The data contained in these books are daily and monthly surface weather data for La Plata Argentina. These data are for the period 1886 to 1892. The tables contain daily air temperature, pressure, winds, sky cover, visibility, weather, rainfall, and temperature extremes. The weather maps display daily surface isobars and isotherms. The tables disappear after 1956, and 500mb charts appear (only maps) for a particular hour, usually 9 am. 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.
