The long-term data resides in 1 book, 'Die Beobachtungsergebniffe der Meteorolgischen Stationen nieder Ordnung in Herzogtum Braunschweig Wahrend des Zeitraumes 1878-1905' (C/dc 181 d) written in German. The data contained in this book are tables of monthly precipitation and long-term means of cloudiness, surface winds, and temperature data for Germany from ... 1878 to 1907. Precipitation parameters for each month of the period included in these data are monthly and greatest 24 hour amount.
The rest of the parameters in these data are averaged over the entire period. The only daily variable is mean temperature. The monthly parameters are the following: mean precipitation amount; mean maximum and minimum temperature; absolute maximum and minimum temperature; mean variation of temperature; wind direction frequency; number of days of precipitation of different intensities, snow, hail, sleet, haze, fog, thunderstorms, dew, hoar frost, snow cover, cloudy skies, sunny skies, ice, and frost. Annual parameters incorporated in these data are mean, maximum, and minimum number of days in the frost-free season (including years). In addition, there are tables of heavy rainfalls in 1905.
Additional long-term data resides in 1 book, 'Das Klima Von OberBayern' (C/dc 161 B574) written in German. The data contained in these books are tables of long-term surface temperature and precipitation for Germany from 1835 to 1884. The parameters included in these data averaged over the period are the following: monthly mean temperature; absolute maximum and minimum temperature; greatest daily fluctuation of temperature; mean fluctuation of temperature; wind direction frequency; and absolute highest and lowest monthly precipitation amount for the period. The total amount of precipitation for the entire period is also tabulated.
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. Geographic Coverage
