1883年至1904年期间，在本尼维斯山顶(海拔1345米)和苏格兰高地的威廉堡小镇上每小时进行一次的天气观测已从原始出版物转录成数字形式。超过3500名公民科学家志愿者使用WeatherRescue.org网站在不到3个月的时间内完成了数字化。恢复了150多万次大气压、干湿球温度、降水和风速的观测。这些数据已经过质量控制，现在已经公开，包括使用现代湿度算法从数字化的干球和湿球温度得出的每小时相对湿度。这些观测是维多利亚时代英国任何地方可获得的最详细的天气数据收集之一。此外，气象学家在本尼维斯山顶看到的374次北极光观测已被编入目录，这改进了空间天气研究的极光记录。
Weather observations taken every hour during the years 1883–1904 on the summit of Ben Nevis (1345 m above sea level) and in the town of Fort William in the Scottish Highlands have been transcribed from the original publications into digital form. More than 3,500 citizen scientist volunteers completed the digitization in less than 3 months using the WeatherRescue.org website. Over 1.5 million observations of atmospheric pressure, wet‐ and dry‐bulb temperatures, precipitation and wind speed were recovered. These data have been quality controlled and are now made openly available, including hourly values of relative humidity derived from the digitized dry‐ and wet‐bulb temperatures using modern hygrometric algorithms. These observations are one of the most detailed weather data collections available for anywhere in the UK in the Victorian era. In addition, 374 observations of aurora borealis seen by the meteorologists from the summit of Ben Nevis have been catalogued and this has improved the auroral record for studies of space weather.
