The UK Colonial Registers and Royal Navy Logbooks (CORRAL) project digitises Royal Navy ship logbooks and coastal and island records contained in UK Colonial documents. Data extraxted from this late 18th to early 20th century archive enhances the global coverage of daily to sub-daily weather observations.Some ships were involved in voyages of scientific discovery while others served in the Hydrographic Survey.

ACRE Chile
The terrestrial and maritime areas of Chile and the south-east Pacific are one of the least represented areas for historical climate data. Supported by formal agreements between ACRE and agencies of the Chilean Government, work has been completed to catalogue the repositories of meteorological and oceanographic data. These range across offices of the national archives, the naval, oceanographic and meteorological services, and include lighthouse records and British and Spanish logbooks. This project is the beginning of a data acquisition initiative for South America.Contact:
ACRE Southeast Asia
The primary goal of this regional foci is to build both capabilities and capacities within Southeast Asian institutions, agencies and National Meteorological Services to improve and extend historical instrumental, documentary and palaeo databases of SE Asian weather/climate. The databases will contribute to the generation of high-quality, high-resolution historical weather reconstructions (reanalyses). These new baselines will allow scientists and policy makers across the region to address weather/climate extremes, impacts and risks in ways and over time spans not previously possible.Contact:
