DIXON, A VOYAGE AROUND THE WORLD, BUT MORE PARTICULARLY TO THE NORTH-WEST COAST OF AMERICA, PERFORMED IN 1785, 1786, 1787 AND 1788 IN THE KING GEORGE AND QUEEN CHARLOTTE. CAPTAINS PORTLOCK AND DIXON. LONDON, 1789 Parameter(s): DATE/TIME (Date/Time) * GEOCODE LATITUDE (Latitude) * GEOCODE LONGITUDE (Longitude) * GEOCODE Wind direction [deg] (dd) * COMMENT: 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. Wind speed [m/s] (ff) * COMMENT: calculated from the descriptive terms of wind force given in the observations Temperature, air [°C] (TTT) Landmark (Landmark) * COMMENT: Name of first landmark Bearing (Bearing) * COMMENT: Bearing of the first landmark Landmark (Landmark) * COMMENT: Name of second landmark Distance to landmark [arbitrary units] (Distance) * COMMENT: Distance to the second landmark - (-) * COMMENT: 1 If position is considered to be coastal (in port or near coastal disturbances) Watch (Watch) * COMMENT: Name of the period of 4 hours which is known as a watch or duty on board ships Glasses (Glasses) * COMMENT: Number of glasses within a watch; one watch equals 8 glasses Comment (Comment) * COMMENT: Any remark, found in the logbook on this particular day, about any biological item Comment (Comment) * COMMENT: Other remarks, that were not possible to put in the other remark fields Declination [deg] (Decl) * COMMENT: It is generally accepted by the CLIWOC team that the wind directions, reported by the ships officers, were relative to the magnetic North direction. Navigators were well aware of the difference between the true and magnetic north direction, but the compasses (we assumed that the bearing-compasses were mostly used for determining the wind direction) were not always adjusted. Therefore the wind direction has to be corrected. The magnetic declination (or variation, as it is known on board ships) is given for the whole CLIWOC period (1750-1850) for every 5x5 degree square. The number was added to the wind direction to get the true wind direction. Sensor reading [arbitrary units] (Reading) * COMMENT: Reading of the (outside) air thermometer Wind direction description (Wind dir descr) * COMMENT: All reported wind directions on this day. The wind direction is the direction that points to where the wind comes from.
