Help us recover historical weather observations from Singapore and the Malacca Straits
Learn moreWe are transcribing historical ship weather logbooks written in the mid-19th Century. The logbooks contain many different weather parameters. Select a weather parameter from the list below to transcribe those measurements from a set of logbook images.

Message from the researcher
Rainfall patterns in Singapore and Malacca Straits are still not well understood, so is their impact on society and economy, this project will give us observational evidence to understand past events and prepare for future ones.
p_teletiAbout Monsoon Voyages
The Monsoon Voyages project will gather historical observations to understand rainfall patterns seen in the Singapore and Malacca Straits region over the last century. The better understanding of long-term rainfall observations will help us link climatic influences that cause rainfall variability over the long-term.
The long-term rainfall record will be uncovered by crowd-sourcing the recovery (or data rescue) of the weather observations from historical ship logbooks, station records, weather journals and other sources, to produce a longer, and more consistent dataset of regional rainfall. This project has been funded by Singapore's Ministry of Education’s Academic Research Fund and is hosted at CIS, Singapore Management University link
