长期以来，人们一直对天气历史，特别是极端天气感兴趣，历史上，人们根据书面记录的信息编制和出版了过去事件的年表。近年来，对当前和未来天气和气候的关注引发了对过去天气事件及其影响的新的兴趣。这种兴趣，以及数字人文研究方法的发展，导致了与世界各地历史天气和气候有关的在线数据库数量的快速增长。本文记录了一个这样的数据库，TEMPEST，极端天气历史在英国的在线存储库的设计，创建和内容。TEMPEST是AHRC资助的项目“经验空间和期望视野：英国极端天气的影响，过去，现在和未来”（2013 - 2017）的主要成果。与大多数依赖于出版材料的现有数据库不同，TEMPEST的记录来自对英国各地档案馆中原始文献来源的初步研究。梭TEMPEST目前包含的18，000条记录提供了对英国400多年来社会与极端天气之间关系的个性化和地理参考见解。在本文中，我们概述了TEMPEST的潜在应用，并提出了未来的研究方向和资源的历史天气。我们还考虑了与数据的存储，归档，所有权和使用有关的数字人文学科的更广泛的问题，以及确保互补数据集之间的连接性的必要性。
People have long been interested in the history of weather, particularly extremes, and chronologies of past events drawing on information from written records have been compiled and published throughout history. In recent years, concern over current and future weather and climate has triggered a new level of interest in past weather events and their impacts. This interest, alongside the development of digital humanities research methods, has resulted in a rapid growth in the number of online databases relating to historic weather and climate around the world. This paper documents the design, creation and content of one such database, TEMPEST, an online repository for extreme weather history in the UK. TEMPEST has been created as the major output of the AHRC funded project ‘Spaces of Experience and Horizons of Expectation: The Implications of Extreme Weather in the UK, Past, Present and Future’ (2013‐2017). Unlike the majority of existing databases that rely on published materials, TEMPEST's records are drawn from primary research into original documentary sources held in archives around the UK. The c. 18,000 records that TEMPEST currently contains offer personalised and geo‐referenced insights into the relationship between society and extreme weather in the UK spanning a period of over 400 years. In this paper we outline potential applications for TEMPEST and suggest directions for future research and resources in historical weather. We also consider broader issues for the digital humanities relating to the storage, archiving, ownership, and usage of data and the need to ensure connectivity between complementary datasets.
