Description:

"The goal of this study is to document the primary weather observational path in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN area leading to the Weather Bureau observing program in the first half of the 20th Century. The challenge was to identify and define the roots of the observation path that began in the 1800s and continued through times of significant transition in the early 1900s. Extrinsic observations, i.e., those by Smithsonian and Voluntary (or Cooperative) Observers, are considered in relation to the beginning of the central observational stream eventually established by the Army surgeons, Signal Service, or Weather Bureau. This does not minimize the importance of these collateral observations, but rather focuses on the original events that led to the routine, formal weather observing program of modern times. A study of the post-1950 measurements at Minneapolis/St. Paul may be useful in the future"--Executive summary.
