REACHES

This database reflects an ongoing project of constructing an East Asian climate database REACHES based on Chinese historical documents. The main record source is Compendium of Meteorological Records of China in the Last 3000 Years which collects meteorology and climate related records from mainly official and local chronicles along with a small number of other documents. The first entries are the records of the early half of the last Qing dynasty (1644-1975). More data will be uploaded while records are properly digitized.
