Thank you for your efforts! We have completed the digitization of the Bozen meteorological record! Click here for more details."
Help climate scientists recover 19th century weather measurements made in the European Alps - from newspapers!
Learn moreIn the standard workflow, you will type pressure and temperature measurements from tables containing a few days of data. If you do not like typing numbers, the "weather" workflows allow you to transcribe weather descriptions without using a keyboard.

Message from the researcher
There is still considerable uncertainty on the pre-industrial temperature evolution in Central Europe and particularly in the Alps. We need more data from the 19th century to reduce this uncertainty.
yuri.brugnaraAbout Alpine weather news
In this project created by a researcher at the University of Bern you will contribute to the study of past climate change in the European Alps, by digitizing meteorological measurements made in the city of Bolzano/Bozen (South Tyrol) between 1842 and 1873 and published on a local newspaper. These data are important to understand pre-industrial climate variability and put the anthropogenic climate change into context.
