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	Landmark	Landmark		Name of first landmark
5	Bearing	Bearing		Bearing of the first landmark
6	Distance to landmark	Distance	arbitrary units	Distance to the first landmark
7	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.
8	Wind force description	Wind force descr		All reported wind forces on this day
9	Clearness	Clearness
10	Gusts	Gusts		1 If wind gusts are reported
