Including the new logbooks, the Old Weather effort has scanned more than 500,000 handwritten pages from historic ship logs, and Old Weather volunteers have so far transcribed almost 3 million
historical weather records for use in climate and environmental research.
They
compared historical weather records, an 1,800 - year - long simulation of the climate pre-Industrial-Revolution, and 40 simulations of climate change from 1920 to 2100 (assuming high future greenhouse gas emissions).
Also,
historical weather records are not reliable for long enough to make strong statistical connections.
These observations are archived at the National Climatic Data Center and are a large part of
the historical weather record of the country.
