Synthetic Weather Diaries: Concept and Application to Swiss 1 Weather in 1816 2

. Climate science is about to produce numerical daily weather reconstructions based on meteorological 8 measurements for Central Europe 250 years back. Using a pilot reconstruction covering Switzerland at 2x2 km2 9 resolution for 1816, this paper presents methods to translate numerical reconstructions and derived indices into 10 text describing daily weather and the state of vegetation. This facilitates comparison with historical sources and 11 analyses of effects of weather on different aspects of life. The translation, termed “synthetic weather diary” could 12 possibly be used to train machine learning approaches to do the reverse: reconstruct past weather from categorized 13 text entries in diaries. 14

sources (e.g., Allan et al., 2016; Veale et al., 2017). 23 In addition to data assimilation, providing global weather data at coarse resolution back to the early 19th century 24 (Slivinski et al. 2019), also other techniques such as analog resampling of regional weather fields (Caillouet et al., back in time, with the potential to go even further back. These reconstructions provide a resource not just for 27 climate science, but also for historians. Depending on the application, a translation between numerical weather 28 data and the descriptive text format in which historical observations and weather diaries are typically written would 29 be beneficial. In this paper I present a first step in this direction, termed "synthetic weather diary". 30 Turned into categorized text, numerical weather reconstructions could supplement historical sources with weather 31 descriptions, much like weather reports today. They could provide, for instance, information on the day-to-day 32 weather for a specific journey or during a military operation. In addition to the individual measurements, useful 33 information for historians could be gained from specific indices based on these daily data. Such indices could 34 provide information on the freezing of water bodies, the state of vegetation, or drought conditions. 35 The translation makes numerical reconstructions and observations directly comparable, which is not only useful 36 for historians, but also for climate sciences. For instance, generating synthetic weather diaries from numerical data 37 in recent decades could be used to train machine learning algorithms to provide the weather pattern (e.g., the 38 weather type or even a full spatial field). A trained algorithm could then be used to classify daily weather in the 39 past based on categorized information from historical weather diaries. 40 Codification of descriptive weather information is a core work of historians of climate (Riemann et al., 2015). A 41 next step then is to establish an ordinal scale, which has been attempted mostly at the monthly or seasonal scale. 42 So-called "Pfister indices" (Pfister et al., 2018) are often used and categorize weather in three-point (-1, 0, 1) or 43 seven-point (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3) indices, with corresponding designations such as "extremely cold", "cold", etc. 44 (Pfister, 1999). Calibrating such indices with measurement-based time series in order to calibrate climate 45 reconstructions implies a similar translation from numerical data to text, though on the monthly or seasonal scale. 46 In this paper I describe a pilot study to generate synthetic weather diaries based on daily weather reconstructions 47 compare the daily entries here, but rather the monthly summaries. 131 Finally, I also briefly use weather observations made by a person named Furrer in Winterthur from 1849-1867 132 (Pfister et al., 2019). The data were taken from the Zurich State Archive (Furrer, n. y.). They are used to test my 133 approach in a later period, when better reconstructions are available. 134

Data for comparison: Weather diary 135
Synthetic weather diaries can also be generated for journeys. To test this, I used the travel diary of Lord Byron 136 during his famous voyage from Lake Geneva through the Bernese Oberland in September 1816. I extracted several 137 weather related statements from his travel journal (Byron, 1839) and extracted the same information, in space and 138 time, in the numerical reconstruction. 139 3 Method 140

General concept and reference period 141
In order to make the weather reconstructions as useful as possible to non-climatologists, while allowing to better 142 compare them to weather observation notes, I structured the data in a similar way as found in many observation 143 books. Daily values and descriptors are listed, and for each month a summary is given: 144  For each day, the absolute number is given for Tmean and precipitation, accompanied by additional 145 information (relating to a reference period, see below) and a set of descriptive qualifiers concerning each 146 variable and the weather type. 147  For each month, monthly statistics are given for Tmean and precipitation in numerical form. Additionally, 148 monthly indices are calculated and given numerically. Again, this section is accompanied by descriptive 149 qualifiers for both, the monthly weather and the indices. 150 Observers might sometimes report on temperature in an "absolute" manner (e.g., referring to freezing), but often 151 also in a relative way (e.g., "very cold day") based on their own experience and perhaps in some cases alluding to 152 https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-2020-74 Preprint. Historical observers, in their reporting, might account for the changing variability in the course of the seasons. For 165 instance, variability is larger in winter than in summer. Temperature on a "cold" summer day might be less below 166 average (in degrees Celsius) than on a "cold" winter day. I therefore standardized the anomalies, again using the 167 1982-2009 standard deviation (calculated for each calendar day and then smoothed by fitting the first two 168 harmonics of the seasonal cycle). Likewise, monthly averages or monthly statistics were expressed as standardized 169 anomalies by using the reference period annual cycle and standard deviations calculated per calendar month. 170

Obtaining daily weather descriptions 171
The first step to obtain daily weather descriptions is to establish a taxonomy that eventually allows a comparison 172 between observations and numerical reconstructions. The target taxonomy must be reducible to the observed 173 taxonomy, but ideally contains additional information. The observations by both Zschokke and Meyer were 174 already extremely standardised. With respect to precipitation, the main categories are rain, snow, or an empty field 175 (standing for dry). In the case of Zschokke, we also (rarely) find the terms "Schneeregen" (mix of snow and rain) 176 and "Staubregen" (most likely: drizzle 1 ). In the case of Winterthur, which was used for testing the method in 1865, 177 we also find "Nebelregen", "Nebel" and "neblig" (fog rain, fog, foggy; for the comparison we assume that 178 precipitation amounts are below the detection threshold chosen in the next Section.). 179 In short, Zschokke and Mayer both provide basically three categories (rain, snow, or dry), two or three times per 180 day. The synthetic weather diary has only daily resolution (so the observations need to be aggregated for 181 comparison), but information can be categorized into more classes which can then be aggregated. The definitions 182 of the classes are indicated in Table 2 and described in more detail in the following. 183 For all standardized anomalies (daily or monthly) we use a seven-point scale defined in Table 3. Note that this 184 scale deviates from similar seven-point scales as defined, e.g., by Pfister et al. (2018) which is also included in 185 Table 3. This is because on the daily scale, a non-linear (in terms of the underlying variable; the scale is almost 186 linear in terms of probabilities) categorization as implied by the "Pfister indices" seems hard to achieve; it would 187 require detecting rather subtle changes close to the average. Therefore a linear scale is preferred. The basic 188 categories -x or x (e.g., "cold" or "warm") are similar in the two classifications, with thresholds roughly near the 189 quartiles, but there is a large discrepancy in the use of the term "extreme". There is approximate agreement of my 190 scale with the likelihood scale in the IPCC calibrated language (IPCC, 2013) where "likely" and "very likely" 191 refer to 66% and 90% cumulative probability (in my scale "x" and "very x" refer to 69.1% and 93.3%, 192 respectively). However, the scale can easily be adapted, and indeed should be adapted, for other applications. 193 For the daily values, the following information is given: 194  For Tmean the synthetic weather diary contains the absolute values, the anomaly from a contemporary 195 reference period, and the standardized anomaly. The taxonomy is based on the latter, using the seven-196 point scale (Table 3): values < -2.5 are termed "extremely cold", -2.5 to -1.5 "very cold", -1.5 to -0.5 197 "cold", -0.5 to 0.5 "average", 0.5 to 1.5 "warm", 1.5 to 2.5 "very warm", and >2.5 "extremely warm". 198  For precipitation the synthetic diary gives the absolute value as well as the qualifier "dry" (<1 mm), 199 "slight rain" (1 to 5 mm), "rain" (5 to 15 mm) and "heavy rain" (>15 mm). The thresholds are chosen 200 arbitrarily. For the case of Geneva, 69% of the days in the reference period are "dry". Of the remaining 201 days, half have "slight rain", 36% have "rain" and 14% "heavy rain". The sensitivity to the choice of the 202 thresholds is analysed later. If daily mean temperature was below 2 °C (following Zubler et al., 2014) the 203 qualifiers "slight snowfall", "snowfall", "heavy snowfall" are used instead. 204  Sky conditions are given as text. For this, irradiance was first expressed as fraction of the maximum 205 possible value for the corresponding calendar day. The latter was approximated here by the simple 206 function 100 * (1.4 W/m 2 -cos(w)), where w is the angle corresponding to the calendar day centred around 207 the solstices. If the fraction is higher than 0.66 and no precipitation is reconstructed, the sky is descried 208 as "clear"; if it is below 0.66, or if there is precipitation, "partly cloudy", if it is below 0.33, "cloudy". 209  Finally, I provide the most likely weather type for that day from the Swiss CAP7 weather statistics 210 (Schwander et al., 2017), along with the probability of that weather type on that day and a text description 211 of the type. Note that the weather type cannot directly be compared with the (often observed) wind 212 direction unless the local situation is very well understood. However, for future applications, wind would 213 be an important component of a synthetic weather diary. 214 Note that irradiance was calculated from an interpolation of few station data and should only be analysed closed 215 to current weather stations, which is the case for the four extracted weather diaries. However, spatial field cannot 216 be analysed, and I do not provide numerical values in the synthetic weather diaries. 217

Monthly weather summaries 218
For each month, the following information is given: 219  Mean Tmean of the month, again along with the deviation from the reference and a qualifier (7-point scale, 220 Table 3  A monthly index of the water balance (precipitation minus potential evapotranspiration, P-E) is calculated 242 by making use of the precipitation amount and Tmean, from which potential evapotranspiration is 243 calculated using the Thorntwaite (1948) formula. The monthly balance is standardized and then described 244 in each month with the 7-pt scale ("extremely wet" to "extremely dry"). 245 4 Results 246

Non-instrumental observations for Aarau and St. Gall 247
The synthetic weather diaries for Aarau and St. Gall are given in the electronic supplement. Their performance in 248 terms of temperature can be measured by comparing the numerical values with the instrumental temperature series 249 from the two stations, which were not used in the reconstruction process and are thus independent. After 250 subtracting the mean annual cycle in the reference period from both series (by fitting the first two harmonics of 251 the seasonal cycle), I find a correlation of 0.81 and 0.72, respectively. Note that the measurements themselves 252 have errors. In view of that, the correlations indicate that even though the reconstruction is only based on three 253 stations, the temperature fields are quite reliable. 254 For rainfall and sky cover, I compare our synthetic diaries with the actual observations from the two stations. As 255 an example, the Aarau observations for July 1816 are shown in Fig. 1, the corresponding synthetic diary in Table  256 4. Both the observations and the synthetic diary indicate a particularly rainy month, but on a day-to-day scale there 257 are also clear differences. In the observation, there are only three days without any precipitation (20, 21 and 23 258 July), of which two are also dry in the synthetic diary. The latter gives eight "dry" days (of which four have zero 259 precipitation, four have less than 1 mm). 260 A plot comparing observations and synthetic weather diary for both stations for both precipitation and sky 261 conditions is shown in Fig. 2 (middle and bottom). While the agreement at the level of seasonal characteristics is 262 quite favourable -both synthetic weather diaries and observations confirm the high number of rainy days in 263 summer and also agree on less rainy periods -there are also important differences. For instance, the first half of 264 September is rather dry in the synthetic diaries (both Aarau and St. Gall), but many rainy days are reported at both 265 stations. 266 https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-2020-74 Preprint.

The agreement can be quantified with Spearman correlations by coding rain/no rain in the observations as 0 and 1 267 ("Nebelregen", "Nebel", "neblig" and "Staubregen" were set to 0) and in the synthetic diary as 0 to 3 for "dry", 268 "slight rain/snowfall", "rain/snowfall", and "heavy rain/snowfall"). In this way I find correlations of around 0.25 269 for Aarau and St. Gall. Coding snow with a negative sign in both sources, correlations increase to slightly above 270 0.4 at both sites. Although highly significant, this agreement may not be good enough yet to be useful on a day-271 to-day scale. In fact, most other combinations gave slightly better results (e.g., 0.5/8/20 mm), but differences were small. In any 290 case, for other applications the thresholds would have to be reconsidered. 291 Finally, the agreement between observed and synthetic sky conditions is very low. Correlations, defined similarly 292 as above, yield coefficients of 0.06 and 0.12 for St. Gall and Aarau, respectively, which is too low to be useful. 293 Visually, large differences become apparent between the observations at Aarau and St. Gall. Specifically, the 294 category "cloudy" ("bewölkt" in Zschokke, "trüb" or "neb. trüb" in Mayer) differs a lot between the sites at the 295 expense of "partly cloudy". More work and more care is required to obtain a good classification. 296 The weather type information can give additional information. For instance, every day but one (27 July) in the 297 example of July 1816 is attributed to a cyclonic weather type. This agrees well with the rainy character of the 298 month. Note also the frequent westerly winds noted in the observations, which is in accordance with westerly or 299 west-southwesterly weather types, although in that case knowledge of the local wind situation and the channelling 300 of winds is required. 301

Monthly summaries for Geneva 302
For testing the monthly summaries in the synthetic weather diaries, I compare them with the observations from 303 Geneva. Marc-Auguste Pictet, in his observations published in the "Bibliothèque universelle" also gives a monthly 304 summary. This sort of information is typical in historical weather sources. Here I compare the entries for the 305 months of March to September, which are most relevant for crops, in a qualitative way ( Table 5). Note that for 306 https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-2020-74 Preprint. Discussion started: 9 June 2020 c Author(s) 2020. CC BY 4.0 License. this Table, for brevity's sake, the synthetic monthly summaries have been further simplified (e.g., not all weather 307 types are indicated, but only those that were anomalously frequent or infrequent). 308 The comparison (highlighted in italics) shows a relatively good agreement. Almost in all months, Pictet points to 309 the delay of vegetation, which is also seen in the synthetic diary based on growing degree days. The calculated 310 delay reaches 22 days in July (relative to the historical reference period). This is less than indicated by Pictet (one 311 month), which however refers to one comparison year. Agreement is also found with respect to most mentions of 312 temperature and rainfall. For instance, the reported "harsh temperatures" in March correspond to a cold month in 313 the synthetic diary, the "cold and rainy weather" in July compares well with the characterisation "very cold" and 314 "extremely wet" in the synthetic diary. Worse agreement is found for October, which according to Pictet was of 315 "remarkable beauty", but in the synthetic weather diary is characterised as "cold", though with below normal 316 rainfall. 317

Comparison with Lord Byron's journey 318
A possible example of use of synthetic weather diary is to track the weather experienced during an expedition or 319 journey. As an example, I use the famous journey of Lord Byron through the Swiss Alps in September 1816. After 320 a dreadful summer with almost constant rain, the weather was improving and Lord Byron found the weather to be 321 quite nice during the trip. 322 Figure 3 shows the reconstructed fields for five days in September 1816, along with a dot that marks the location 323 of Byron as well as the weather descriptions form his diary and from the synthetic weather diary, calculated for 324 each location. The first day ("fine weather") indeed was a nice day also in the reconstructions, with no rainfall and 325 high temperatures. Agreement is also found on the other days, both in terms of rainfall and temperature, except 326 perhaps for 25 September, when Byron notes "the weather has been tolerable all day" (the meaning of which, 327 however, is unclear). On this day, the reconstruction shows spatially extensive (though not extremely intense) 328 rainfall. Also the two stations Aarau and St. Gall report rainfall. 329

Discussion 330
The analyses show that synthetic diaries can provide local, daily weather information in a format that is comparable 331 to non-instrumental observations and weather descriptions in diaries. The comparison with independent 332 observations shows some agreement, although the quality both of the daily reconstruction as well as of the 333 translation needs further improvement. 334 The comparison of monthly summaries also showed a good agreement and points to the usefulness of vegetation 335 indices (such as GDD). The monthly summary also points to the effect of combinations of factors (e.g., cold with 336 little snow) and the importance of pests and insects for agriculture. Experts might be able to make use of the 337 numerical reconstructions or the synthetic weather data also for analysing insect infestations. In his summaries, 338 Pictet appears as a rather reserved observer, who largely excludes the societal effects in his descriptions. Other 339 weather diaries from this time (e.g., the Hoffmann diary, quoted in Bodenmann et al., 2011) have a more 340 pessimistic or even desperate tone, list in detail the prices, and point to the miserable situation, to beggars etc. 341 The comparison with the travel diary of Lord Byron yields a general agreement. This shows that synthetic weather 342 diaries might be useful as an additional information source to better analyse the journey. 343 https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-2020-74 Preprint.

For all analyses, we should note that rainfall is much more difficult to reconstruct by the analog method than 344 temperature due to its very high spatial variability (Pfister et al., 2020). Moreover there is a large representativity 345 error and arguably also a large observation error. For instance, rain may fall unnoticed during the night. Moreover, 346 instrumental precipitation (which is the basis for the analog method) is defined as 6 local time to 6 local time, 347 making comparison at times more difficult; a one-day shift is possible. Note also that the 2x2 km 2 grid does not 348 represent the resolution of the observing network, which has a typical inter-station difference of 15-20 km 349 (MeteoSwiss, 2019). In any case, precipitation can only be taken as a rough indication. Temperature, conversely, 350 is well reconstructed, but less often in the focus of observers. Eventually, wind would be an important variable for 351 any reconstruction, which should be considered in future approaches. 352 While the agreement as measured in correlation is at times low, currently limiting the application of synthetic 353 diaries, it should be noted that future reconstructions will likely be much improved and resolve further detail. Once 354 this stage is reached, the potential of this tool is immense. Weather information can be generated for military 355 operations or other weather-sensitive activities. Weather diaries can also be produced for travels and expeditions. 356 The translation into text as well as the comparison with reference periods allows a more direct comparison, and 357 the calculated indices may be useful for some applications. In particular, impacts on agriculture or on other areas 358 of life can be assessed more easily. In short, the weather diaries could be used in a variety of ways by historians 359 to constrain, cross-date, compare or complement other information. 360 The approach is however also important for sciences. If the translation from numeric weather data to a synthetic 361 diary that resembles historical sources succeeds, inversion methods can be used to do the opposite: Reconstruct 362 weather numerically from descriptive data. Data assimilation techniques use such "forward models", however, for 363 a formal data assimilation approach the variables need to be on a metric scale. For other approaches such as analog 364 selections, the variables must at least allow to express similarities (or ordinal distances). Systematically compiled 365 categorial information, however, as is produced in our approach, could be used for instance by machine learning 366 approaches. This requires that historical weather diaries can be categorized (or are already categorized) in a prior 367 step. If this is the case, machine learning approaches could then be trained on synthetic weather diaries generated 368 in the most recent few decades to provide weather types, or even entire weather fields. Once successfully trained, 369 such approaches can then applied to past weather diaries. 370

Summary and Conclusions 371
Recent efforts in climatology have resulted in daily weather reconstructions for the globe covering the last 200 372 years. Daily weather reconstructions are also generated for specific regions at high resolution and might soon reach 373 250 years back. These data sets could be important for history and sciences. In this paper I explore this by 374 translating a high-resolution, prototype weather reconstruction for Switzerland, 1816, into synthetic weather 375 diaries for selected locations. These synthetic weather diaries provide not only the reconstructed values, but 376 translate them into a categorial form that makes them comparable to weather descriptions. Reconstructed values 377 are referenced to a contemporary reference period, and a calibrated language (e.g., "very cold") is used to translate 378 numbers to categories. Furthermore, monthly summaries are provided, using the monthly statistics of the daily 379 reconstruction (translated to descriptive categories) as well as indices for plant growth, freezing, and drought (also 380 translated to descriptive categories). 381 https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-2020-74 Preprint.

Results from our prototype reconstructions for Switzerland, 1816, show a good agreement with independent non-382 instrumental daily weather observations from Aarau and St. Gall, and with monthly weather summaries from 383 Geneva. Also, qualitative agreement with the travel diary of Lord Byron on his journey through Switzerland in 384 September 1816 is found. The quality of this pilot reconstruction is arguably not accurate enough for many 385 applications. However, future products are expected to be of sufficient quality to yield useful information, although 386 there will always be substantial uncertainty for rainfall and particularly for sky conditions. 387 Synthetic weather diaries are also relevant for science. Combined with machine learning approaches, they could 388 be used to reconstruct weather numerically from descriptive data. This opens an immense potential for the use of     Table 3. Seven-point scale for indexing standardized anomalies (std. dev.), description (x denotes a property and -x its reverse, 543 e.g., "warm" and "cold", "wet" and "dry", or "late" and "early") and corresponding probabilities (Prob.) and cumulative 544 probabilities (Cum. prob.) for (left part of  , 12 raindays, P-E = 6 mm (normal moisture), frequent "North, cyclonic" (16 days, 337%), "Westerly flow over Southern Europe, cyclonic" (7 days, 223%), no "West-southwest, cyclonic, flat pressure", "Westerly flow over Northern Europe", "East, indifferent", and "High pressure over Europe"

Jun
Trees are still very susceptible to attacks by cockchafers and caterpillars. The oaks have not yet had a single leaf as of June 30. There are pear trees that also lack them, and whose fruit has fallen off. The wheat has flourished, the barley and oats are beautiful. The grapes are not yet flowering. The natural and artificial meadows give a lot of fodder. T = 12.73 °C (very cold), GDD = 676 °C (very late, 17 d), R = 5.51 mm/d (192%), 15 raindays, P-E = 86 mm (very wet), frequent "North, cyclonic" (16 days, 301%), "Westerly flow over Southern Europe, cyclonic" (6 days, 285%), infrequent "Northeast, indifferent" (4 days, 47%), no "Westerly flow over Northern Europe", "East, indifferent", and "High pressure over Europe"

Jul
The cold, rainy weather delayed the harvest so much that only little rye and little winter barley was harvested. Grapes are very late and the branches have a lot of aborted berries, and are also in small quantities. The late-ripening meadows, which are only cut once, yield very little, and the annual clovers look good. Potatoes are in danger of rotting in places where there is no drainage. T = 15.1 °C (very cold), GDD = 1020 °C (extremely late, 22 d), R = 6.23 mm/d (254%), 19 raindays, P-E = 96 mm (extremely wet), frequent "Westerly flow over Southern Europe, cyclonic" (16 days, 1385%), "North, cyclonic" (8 days, 162%), infrequent "Northeast, indifferent" (1 day, 9%), no "Westerly flow over Northern Europe", "East, indifferent", and "High pressure over Europe" Aug The harvests, at first thwarted by the rains, were then carried out in very favourable weather. The clovers of the second cut are beautiful, as well as the second-growth hay, and the annual clovers. Potatoes are abundant where they have not rotted in the ground, which has happened everywhere where water has stayed. Wheats have little grain and are afflicted with rust. Barley yields a lot. Grapes have grown, but it is doubtful that they can ripen. T = 16.46 °C (very cold), R = 3.19 mm/d (119%), 12 raindays, P-E = 1 mm (wet), frequent "Westerly flow over Southern Europe, cyclonic" (4 days, 329%), infrequent "Westerly flow over Northern Europe" (1 day, 26%), no "High pressure over Europe"

Sep
The weather was beautiful and the temperature was quite mild throughout the month to advance the ripening of the oats and barley from the mountains: we now have hopes that they will ripen, but the grapes are still almost unchanged, and benefit little. The second-growth hay has been reliable. Sowing is difficult in the clay fields. The first wheat sown T = 15.04 °C (average), R = 2.35 mm/d (78%), 7 raindays, P-E = -5 mm (normal moisture), frequent "Northeast, indifferent" (9 days, 152%), no "High pressure over Europe" and "North, cyclonic" https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-2020-74 Preprint.

22 has risen well. The potatoes planted by the plough are largely rotten, those planted by the spade are less affected.

Oct
The month of October was of a remarkable beauty; the buckwheat sown after the wheat has prospered a lot; the harvest of the mountains is coming, the white grapes got lighter, when the frosts of the 22nd and 23rd spoiled everything, except for the grapes of some vineyards located near the lake. All the red grapes were frozen, because they were just beginning to change. A reliable white harvest was made, and some owners put sugar in it to make sure that the juice would ferment. The wood of the vine is not ripe. T = 9.23 °C (cold), R = 2.59 mm/d (83%), 8 raindays, P-E = 41 mm (normal moisture), frequent "Northeast, indifferent" (6 days, 230%), "North, cyclonic" (5 days, 269%) 558 https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-2020-74 Preprint.
