Description

This dataset contains images from in-situ (sub-)daily meteorological datasheets housed in the KNMI archive from the late 19th and early 20th century. The images are made following the WMO Guidelines on Best Practices for Data Rescue (WMO No. 1182, edition 2024). Images contain data from Suriname (Nickerie, Fort Nieuw Amsterdam) and the islands of St. Eustatius, St. Maarten, Curacao and Bonaire in the Caribbean. The files are sorted by location and year. Measurements contain, among others, temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed and direction, cloud cover and precipitation.

Per location images are available for the following years:

  • Bonaire: 1920, 1927-1941
  • Curacao: 1909-1946
  • Suriname (New Nickerie): 1896-1903, 1922-1962
  • Suriname (Fort New Amsterdam): 1896, 1900-1903
  • St. Eustatius: 1909-1940, 1944-1946
  • St. Maarten: 1920-1946
