Parameter(s):

#	Name	Short Name	Unit	Comment
1	DATE/TIME	Date/Time		Geocode
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	Pressure, atmospheric	PPPP	hPa	No temperature correction was applied. The following factors have been used for the conversion to hPa: 2.54 cm in an inch; 13.596 specific gravity of mercury; 980.65 cm/s gravity at 45° latitude
5	Temperature, air	TTT	°C
6	Image number/name	Image no/name		Identification Number of the original image
7	Landmark	Landmark		Name of first landmark
8	Bearing	Bearing		Bearing of the first landmark
9	Landmark	Landmark		Name of second landmark
10	Bearing	Bearing		Bearing of the second landmark
11	Landmark	Landmark		Name of third landmark
12	Bearing	Bearing		Bearing of the third landmark
13	-	-		1 If position is considered to be coastal (in port or near coastal disturbances)
14	Watch	Watch		Name of the period of 4 hours which is known as a watch or duty on board ships
15	Glasses	Glasses		Number of glasses within a watch; one watch equals 8 glasses
16	Comment	Comment		Life on board
17	Sensor reading	Reading	arbitrary units	Reading of the (outside) air thermometer
18	Sensor reading	Reading	arbitrary units	Reading of the air pressure
19	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.
20	Wind force description	Wind force descr		All reported wind forces on this day
21	Present weather	ww		Weather description
