Data sets

Subdaily records of atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction, and air temperature in southwest Greenland during the latter half of the 18th century Konrad Chmist et al. https://doi.org/10.18150/XGCONO

Short summary

The currently observed climate changes are most intense in the Arctic region. This study utilized some of the oldest existing meteorological measurement series in this region. Atmospheric pressure and anemological conditions were analysed and then compared with contemporary measurements. This showed that the weakest low and strongest high systems occur in the same months. Prevailing wind directions have also remained unchanged, while the northerly wind carries less frigid air than in the past.
