Abstract:
Meteorological observations made in the Malaspina Expedition from 1789 to 1794 have been retrieved. Variables such as air temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind direction and intensity, and weather conditions, were recorded in these observations. In total, nearly 17000 instrumental data were digitized.
