Group: Summary
Author and title of these books: Melbourne Observatory, Monthly Record of
Results of Observations in Meteorology...
Call number: C/if AO15 3147, 5286
Number of books: 2
These books are a 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.
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 1901, Jan 1902, etc.
These books contain tables of magnetic variation, and daily, monthly,
seasonal, and annual surface and subsurface weather for Victoria,
Australia from various periods between 1862 and 1873. Consecutive data
appears from 1873 to 1876.
Tables include the following data collected at twenty-four ground
stations:
- daily mean pressure, temperature, soil temperature, dew point,
relative humidity, prevailing direction of the wind,
cloudiness, and ozone
- daily absolute maximum and minimum temperature
- daily rainfall
- daily absolute maximum solar radiation
- daily absolute minimum terrestrial radiation
- daily wind miles
- daily weather observations
- monthly and seasonal diurnal fluctuations in mean wind velocity
- monthly and seasonal mean vapor pressure, temperature, dew
point, pressure, cloudiness, and relative humidity
- monthly number of days with rainfall, fog, dew, and hail
- monthly absolute maximum and minimum temperature and pressure
(includes date)
- monthly excess of direct or retrograde revolutions of the wind
- monthly range of temperature and pressure
- monthly mean pressure, temperature, wind velocity, ozone, and
relative humidity (includes difference from long-term
average)
- monthly absolute maximum daily range of temperature
- monthly mean daily range of temperature
- monthly mean soil temperature at surface, 14 inches, and 3, 6,
and 8 feet depth (includes difference from long-term average)
- monthly mean prevailing direction of the wind
- monthly and seasonal wind frequency (includes percentage, hours,
wind miles, and mean wind velocity)
- monthly absolute maximum and minimum ozone (includes date)
- monthly absolute maximum wind velocity (includes date)
- monthly absolute maximum breezes (includes date and prevailing
direction of the wind)
- monthly direct and retrograde motion of the wind

- monthly rainfall (includes difference from long-term average)
- dates of heavy rainfall at Melbourne Observatory (includes
duration and amount)
- dates of thunderstorm, lightning, hailstorms, frost, snow, fog,
sleet, hot winds, and aurora australis
- long-term average monthly mean pressure, temperature, dew point,
relative humidity, cloudiness, and wind velocity
- long-term average monthly, seasonal, and annual mean soil
temperature at surface, 14 inches, and 3, 6, and 8 feet depth
- long-term monthly and annual absolute maximum and minimum
temperature (includes date)
- long-term monthly and annual absolute maximum solar radiation
(includes date)
- long-term monthly and annual absolute minimum terrestrial
radiation (includes date)
- long-term average monthly mean rainfall
- long-term average monthly mean wind miles
- long-term annual absolute maximum and minimum monthly range of
pressure and temperature (includes date)
- long-term annual absolute maximum and minimum range of pressure
and temperature (includes date)
- long-term average seasonal and annual mean pressure and
temperature
- long-term average seasonal and annual mean daily range of
temperature
- long-term average seasonal and annual mean wind frequency
- long-term average seasonal and annual mean relative humidity,
rainfall, and dew point
- long-term annual absolute maximum and minimum mean daily range
of temperature (includes date)
- long-term average annual mean wind miles
- long-term average annual mean wind velocity
- long-term annual absolute maximum wind velocity (includes date)
- long-term annual absolute maximum and minimum rainfall (includes
date)
- long-term annual absolute maximum range of pressure.
Tables include the following magnetic and seismic data:
- monthly (given hour) observed deflection and time of one
vibration (includes temperature, and distances of centers of
magnets
- monthly (given hour) east declination and magnetic dip
- monthly absolute horizontal and vertical force
- monthly date and duration of magnetic disturbances
- seasonal and annual mean daily range of declination
- annual mean declination and inclination (magnetic dip)
- annual absolute maximum and minimum declination (includes period
of hours)
- date of earthquake shocks (includes prevailing direction of the
wind and duration).
