REMARKS --- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all January-March 1881 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 during the first three months of 1881. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to the tri-daily fixed time readings, Ft. Snelling observers took readings from self-registering |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maximum-minimum thermometers, beginning 1 April 1881 and continuing through the remainder of the year. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The April-December portion of the 1881 record, accordingly, includes averages and extremes taken BOTH from |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the fixed time record and the maximum-minimum record. Monthly averages derived from the fixed time record were |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
calculated in the same manner as were corresponding averages for the years 1877-1880. None of the foregoing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
average temperatures have been adjusted to the standard NWS 2400-2400 hour observation day. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 29 September. Lowest 1881 temperature |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recorded at 0700 hours on 9 January. January-March and December 1881 precipitation record is missing/incomplete. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Highest 1881 temperature recorded on 11 August. |
