METEOROLOGY: CLIMATE: HISTORY:
The Climatological Database for the World's Oceans
1750-1850
<http://www.ucm.es/info/cliwoc/index.htm>

"The existence of abundant meteorological data from
logbooks of different European countries constitutes a
common and invaluable heritage of the most outstanding
scientific interest. The analysis of the logbooks content
will contribute to characterise climate during XVIII th
and XIX th centuries and to asses climate change.

These logbooks are an unique source of information
which can not be obtained from any other way and will
help to understand climate variability for a period and
area (the oceans) with scarce data until now.
The availability of such data to the scientific community
will contribute to a better detection of climate change.
The main aim of the project is to produce and make freely
available for the scientific community the world's firsts daily
oceanic climatological database for the period 1750 to 1850.
The database will provide a better knowledge of oceanic
climate variability over the study period. Data will be
obtained from documentary sources, mostly logbooks
records, which are kept in a number of European archives
in Spain, Britain, Holland and France. The original records
will be transcribed and introduced into a computer based
database."

The dictionary is an extensive work that covers several
languages and provides guidance for terminology used
in the logs recording ocean climate on the ships traveling
at that time.

The database content is discussed at this URL where
one also finds links to the database itself.
