  1. DMI long-term instrumental data series from Greenland FreshNor Workshop SHMI 18-19 October 2007 John Cappelen

  2. If we want to know, if we change the climate, then we must know, to which extend it changes by itself. That it one of the reasons for the great value of the old climate data.

  3. From 1856 there are reliable global observations.

  4. The foundation of The Danish Meteorological Institute in 1872 marked the beginning of the official instrumental meteorological series i Greenland. From 1873-1983 yearbooks have been produced with varying contents and size. What about Greenland? From app. 1958 digitised observations exist in the climate databases at DMI. Observer Guldager by his instruments. Jacobshavn 1923

  5. 1760’s marked the beginning of systematic observations in Greenland…. Before 1873? From 1784 a composite SW Greenland temperature series is processed….not least because of H.H. Lamb. Composed of series from Qaqortoq, Nuuk and Ilulissat. Source: Vinther, B. M., K. K. Andersen, P. D. Jones, K. R. Briffa and J.

  6. Continuously updated series of annually temperatures from 1873 from seven localitions. Back to the time after 1872… The series have been quality checked the best way possible including the processing of NACD - North Atlantic Climatological Dataset 1890-1990.

  10. Besides data open to the public data and services are available for money. DMI provides free (besides delivery costs) and unrestricted access to meteorological data and products for educational and research purposes, if some conditions are met. A guide to DMI climate data exist… Source: John Cappelen, Claus Kern-Hansen and Kim Sarup:Guide to Climate Data and Information from the Danish Meteorological Institute – updated September 2007.
