A twice-daily barometric pressure record from Durham Observatory in north-east England, 1843-1960

This dataset consists of twice-daily observations of barometric pressure from Durham Observatory (54.768 °N, 1.584 °W, barometer cistern 107.3 m above mean sea level, MSL) from 23 July 1843 to 31 December 1960. The Durham record, which is 98.7% complete, is by far the longest digital barometric pressure series in northern England, and fills a very large temporal and spatial gap in the International Surface Pressure Database (ISPD). A paper describing the data series has been submitted to Geoscience Data Journal, April 2021; prior to acceptance/publication, a copy is available from the author at [e-mail] BOOK CHAPTER Substantially the same information will appear as Appendix 5 in Durham Weather and Climate since 1841, by Tim Burt and Stephen Burt, to be published by Oxford University Press in Spring 2022.
