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	-	-		1 If position is considered to be coastal (in port or near coastal disturbances)
5	Watch	Watch		Name of the period of 4 hours which is known as a watch or duty on board ships
6	Glasses	Glasses		Number of glasses within a watch; one watch equals 8 glasses
