船舶航海日志现在是气候变化研究数据来源的一个公认部分。本文探讨了在所谓的前仪器时期围绕北极地区航海日志的一些特殊问题。注意的是，风，天气和海冰覆盖的叙述性描述可以可靠地表示在索引形式的手段。还考虑了可最有效地管理这些数据以便进行科学分析的各种手段，因为在大多数情况下，这些数据并不是为了进行科学分析而记录的。许多这样的航海日志仍然有待数字化，这里所描述的方法可以在未来通过使用英语文件的此类企业以同样的信心应用。
Ships’ logbooks are now an accepted part of the repertoire of data sources in climate change studies. This article examines some of the particular issues surrounding logbooks from the Arctic region in the so‐called pre‐instrumental period. Attention is given to the means by which narrative descriptions of wind, weather and sea ice cover can be reliably expressed in index form. Consideration is also given to the various means by which these data can be most effectively managed for scientific analysis as in most cases they were not recorded for such purposes. Many such logbooks remain yet to be digitized and the methods described here can be applied with equal confidence in future through such undertakings using English language documents.
