REMARKS --- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all 1879 data are from fixed time observations taken daily at the Ft. Snelling |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
post hospital station at 0700, 1400 and 2100 hours local time. So far as can be determined, the station was |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
not equipped with self-registering maximum-minimum thermometers at any time during 1879. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Foregoing average temperatures include the averages of fixed time observations taken at 0700 and 1400 hours. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Average monthly temperatures were calculated by taking the sum of the daily 0700 hour and 1400 hour readings |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
plus twice the sum of the 2100 hour readings and dividing the resulting sum by four. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extreme maxima and extreme minima are the highest and lowest values OBSERVED at the Ft. Snelling station |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
during the month involved. Monthly average temperatures have NOT been adjusted to the NWS 2400-2400 hour |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
observation day. Highest 1879 observed temperature was recorded at 1400 hours on 29 August. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Monthly mean cloudiness values are the averages based on visual sky cover observations taken daily at 0700, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1400 and 2100 hours local time. A cloudiness value of zero (0) indicates a totally clear sky: a value of five indicates |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
50 percent cloud cover, etc. Greatest daily precipitation recorded on 3 July. Lowest 1879 temperature |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recorded at 0700 hours on 25 December. July 1879 precipitation record is probably incomplete. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When they appear in the foregoing tables, ITALICS indicate estimated / derived and/or incomplete values. |
