Weather observations in Iceland before 1872 An inventory of meteorological manuscripts in the National Library and the National Archives of Iceland. (Funded by the EU-contract: ENV4-CT95-0129 (ADVICE), project coordinator: dr. Trevor D. Davies, Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, U.K.). We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of SjOfn Kristjansd6ttir documentary historian at the Icelandic National Library Manuscript Collection and her colleagues at the Library as well as the staff of the National Archives.

An English summary. The present work is a first attempt towards an inventory of meteorological diaries and measurements in Iceland before 1872. That year is a natural break-point as the routine observations were then taken over by the newly established Danish Meteorological Institute.

An extensive search was made in the manuscript collection of the National Library (Landsb6kasafn) as well as in the National Archives (I>j6oskjalasafn). The manuscripts are classified both according to the origin and the nature of the observations. The search covered all manuscripts that were considered likely to contain some (preferably daily) meteorological observations or measurements. A number of the manuscripts surveyed did NOT turn out to contain observations, but are listed as well for the information to future further searches (so it is not necessary to look at them again in a quest for similar information).

The manuscripts can be classified as weather diaries (journals of daily observations, with or without instrumental measurements), general diaries, note-books and (printed), notated almanacs. The bulk of the material was written near the middle of the 19th century. the youngest extend into the early years of the 20th century. There is also some material from the 18th century.

The result of the search is documented in chapter 4 in this report (p.11 to 26). Information on the weather diaries proper are listed in detail on a diskette that is available on request from the Icelandic Meteorological Office. The information is stored in Microsoft EXCEL® format ("eip_manu.xls"). Information on the file structure is found below and in the "readme.txt" file on the diskette.

Notes on the material on the diskette.

The diskette includes detailed information on the manuscripts marked with an asterix

(*) in the "main list". As customary in EXCEL®-format the information is split up

into several "worksheets". The first 5 consist of lists over the manuscripts split

according to type and bibliographical location, as in the "main list" above. Sheet 1:

Weather diaries, journals, Sheet 2: Note-books, Sheet 3: Almanacs, Sheet 4:

General diaries and Sheet 5: Other, "unlisted". Note that the diskette sheets only

contain information on manuscripts marked with an asterix (*) in the "main list". The

information (on sheets 1 to 5) is arranged in columns as follows:

• A. Bibliographical reference number of the manuscript.

• B. Observer

• C. Site of observation

• D. The period included (please note that this does not necessarily mean that the

information is in any sense complete during the whole period listed).

• E. Time of the day.

• F. Period of temperature measurements (see also note to D above).

• G. Period of pressure measurements (see also note to D above).

• H. Wind (direction and force) observations

• I. Cloud information

• J. Precipitation type (weather).

• K. Phenological observations and agricultural practices related to weather.

• L. Information on fisheries related to weather

• M. Remarks. The "quality" of the manuscript, other remarks.

• N. Other, e.g. information on sea-ice.

Worksheet 6 includes an overview of the geographical location of the observations,

mainly in which administrative units ("hreppar") the observations were made (there

are many farms with the same name in different parts of the country).

Worksheet 7 is a name index.

Trausti Jonsson: A short summary of early Icelandic instrumental

meteorological observations.

The first known series of observations is the Horrebow 1749-1751 observations at

Bessastaoir in SW-Iceland. The observations are published in (Horrebow, N.,1752 (in

Danish), Niels Horrebow, 1966 (an Icelandic translation» as an addendum to a report on

Icelandic economical conditions. It seems that the instruments were left in Iceland and there

were probably some observations during the 1750s and the 1760s (these are mentioned in

contemporary correspondence), but nothing seems to have survived, except a year (1763) of

a series of pressure and daily weather description, probably made by the Icelandic naturalist

and reformer Eggert Olafsson.

In the mid 1770s the bishop of Skalholt in southern Iceland (Hannes Finnsson) made

observations for several years. These are still surviving, but have never been published.

A major effort was initiated by the Danish Scientific Society in 1779. A meteorological and

astronomical observatory was established at Lambhus close to Bessastaoir in SW-Iceland. A

full-time observer (Rasmus Lievog) was stationed there until 1805 it seems, but only a small

part of his observations has survived to modem times. The years surviving are August 1779

to June 1785 and the whole year of 1789. There are summaries of sorts from 1787 and 1792.

There is still some hope that copies of the lost observations will be found in some European

archive.

The sheriff of Dalasysla W-Iceland, Magnus Ketilsson kept a weather diary during the period

1779-1802. During a part of this time he measured pressure almost daily.

The diaries of Sveinn Palsson, who was a district physician in southern Iceland, present a

wealth of general meteorological observations as well as some measurements of pressure and

temperature. Sveinn Palsson wrote at least three sorts of journals, i.e. an "ordinary" diary,

weather diary and a travel journal. The weather diaries proper are readily accessible from

1798 onwards to 1840. There are almost no instrumental observations after 1812. During

considerable parts of the 1808 - 1812 period there are also no instrument readings. The

pressure observations stop in late 1809. Monthly summaries of his visual weather and wind

observations are accessible for parts of the period 1791-1797. These summaries have been

published along his traveljournal (Palsson, 1983, (in Icelandic».

The Icelandic coast was surveyed and mapped during the years 1807 to 1814 by the Danish

navy. The surveying team was stationed in Akureyri in Northern Iceland and made daily

observations during the whole period.

Country physicus Jon Thorsteinsson began his weather observations in Reykjavik in 1820

with instruments supplied by the Danish Scientific Society. Thorsteinsson made daily

observations for over 30 years, to the end of February 1854. These observations have almost

all survived in manuscript. A part of the observations (1823-1837) was published in

Copenhagen in 1859 (Holmsted, 1859 (in Latin)).

A few enthusiastic individuals made instrumental observations (mainly temperature) in the

1820s and onwards. Usually these series are short but in spite of this very valuable.

In 1840 Jonas Hallgrfmsson urged the Icelandic Society of Letters to launch a general survey

of the Icelandic nature, with the cooperation of local ministers and the members of the

society. Jonas Hallgrfmsson was a poet of major stature and one of Iceland's earliest

academics specializing in the natural sciences. The Society actually did initiate this major

undertaking and sent thermometers and detailed instructions on meteorological observations

to 49 ministers all over Iceland. The majority of these did commence the observations and

thus a large set of temperature measurements exists from Iceland during the early part of the

1840s. A few of the ministers kept the effort going for almost 40 years.

The observations of Ami Thorlacius in Stykkish6lmur started in 1845 possibly as a "spin-off'

from the initiative of Jonas Hallgrfmsson, who died the same year. Thorlacius' s observations

were continued under the auspices of the Danish Meteorological Institute after 1872. II
