The database contains results of meteorological measurements in SW Greenland (Godthåb [now Nuuk]) at the beginning of the 19th century (1st Nov 1806 to 16th August 1813).The data were taken from the manuscript (MA/154) found in the Archives of the Royal Society in London. The meteorological observations were carried out by the German mineralogist Dr Charles Lewis Giesecke (born Johann Georg Metzler, [1761–1833]). The following meteorological variables are available: atmospheric pressure (morning and evening), air temperature (morning, midday, and evening), and wind direction (morning and evening). The detailed hours of observations are not known. The database contains both the source data digitised from the meteorological register as well as calculated mean daily air temperature (MDAT) using a weighted average: (Tmorning + Tmidday + 2 × Tevening) / 4. To check the probable biases in the calculation of MDATs, we assessed them using hourly air temperature data taken from the Nuuk station from 2010 to 2020. Analysis shows that in the cold half-year (Oct-Mar), the maximum bias reaches 0.1°C, while in summer it is the highest but does not exceed 0.5°C (for more details, see the paper Przybylak et al. 2025, submitted to BAMS).
