从已知的档案来源恢复额外的历史天气观测将提高对气候变化的理解,并能够详细检查历史记录中的异常事件。英国国家气象档案馆最近扫描了66,000多张纸张,其中包含1677年至1960年期间在英国和爱尔兰进行的528万份手写月降雨观测。这些观测结果中只有一小部分以前是数字化的,可供气候科学家分析。超过16,000名志愿公民科学家于2020年初使用Zooniverse平台建立的RainfallRescue.org网站完成了这些观察表的转录。到目前为止,来自6000多个地点的334万次观测已经得到质量控制,并公开提供。这使这一时期和这一区域的月降雨量观测总数增加了六倍。新拯救的观测将使不列颠和爱尔兰群岛过去降雨变化的重建时间更长,更好,包括严重的洪水和干旱时期。具体来说,这些数据应该允许英国的官方网格化月降雨量重建可以追溯到1836年,甚至更早。
Recovering additional historical weather observations from known archival sources will improve the understanding of how the climate is changing and enable detailed examination of unusual events within the historical record. The UK National Meteorological Archive recently scanned more than 66,000 paper sheets containing 5.28 million hand‐written monthly rainfall observations taken across the UK and Ireland between 1677 and 1960. Only a small fraction of these observations were previously digitally available for climate scientists to analyse. More than 16,000 volunteer citizen scientists completed the transcription of these sheets of observations during early 2020 using the RainfallRescue.org website, built using the Zooniverse platform. A total of 3.34 million observations from more than 6000 locations have so far been quality controlled and made openly available. This has increased the total number of monthly rainfall observations that are available for this time period and region by a factor of six. The newly rescued observations will enable longer and much improved reconstructions of past variations in rainfall across the British and Irish Isles, including for periods of significant flooding and drought. Specifically, this data should allow the official gridded monthly rainfall reconstructions for the UK to be extended back to 1836, and even earlier for some regions.
