These books are part of the foreign meteorological data collection held by the NOAA Central Library in Washington, DC. Information in this collection dates back to the 18th century for daily, monthly, seasonal, and annual tabular summaries, and the 19th century for weather maps. These data are the result of foreign exchange agreements, but the collection has not been updated since 1983.

Values provided in temporal and spatial coverage are approximate only.
Taken from the 2009-2010 Progress Report: Laboratory activity/analysis: Twelve months of intensive processing of otolith samples resulted in the preparation and ageing of over 5,000 otoliths of Patagonian toothfish, Dissostichus eleginoides, collected over the past 10 years from the Heard Island - ... McDonald Islands (HIMI) fishery and the Macquarie Island fishery. Patagonian toothfish otolith ageing and microchemistry work will continue over a number of years.
Further processing, maintenance and cataloguing of the collection of preserved fish specimens has been undertaken.
Work has also continued on the processing and cataloguing of benthic samples collected by observers or field work previously undertaken in the HIMI region. This work continues to increase the known diversity of benthic fauna of the HIMI region.
