| 1 | Date/time start | Date/time start | ||||
| 2 | Wind direction | dd | deg | Wind direction (from which the wind is blowing) in whole degrees from: 1-360; 361 = calm, 362 = variable. It is not clear from many logbook entries whether the wind direction has been corrected for the magnetic variation (or declination). To avoid any misunderstanding, all winds from reports that included a valid position in the period 1750-1854 were corrected. All other wind directions are given without being corrected. | ||
| 3 | Wind speed | ff | m/s | calculated from the descriptive terms of wind force given in the observations | ||
| 4 | Wind direction description | Wind dir descr | All reported wind directions on this day. The wind direction is the direction that points to where the wind comes from. | |||
| 5 | Wind force description | Wind force descr | All reported wind forces on this day | |||
