Title: Monthly and Annual Precipitation for Dakar and the rest of Senegal (1887-1927)

Description:

Abstract:

The Dakar data resides in 1 book, 'La Pluie a Dakar et L'activite Solaire' (C/fd W464). In these summaries, definitions are: 1. Hourly/daily/monthly/seasonal/annual data -- values determined for each consecutive period, e.g. monthly temperature data: Jan 1900, Feb 1900, etc. 2. Long-term data -- values determined over a period of years, e.g. long-term monthly temperature data using Jan 1901, Jan 1902, etc. This book contains graphs of annual precipitation for Dakar, Senegal from 1887 to 1927. Graphs contain annual total precipitation. The Senegal data resides in 1 book, 'Les Pluies au Senegal de 1887 a 1927' (C/FD R864). In these summaries, definitions are as in the above. This book contains tables and graphs of monthly and annual precipitation for Senegal from 1887 to 1927. Tables contain the following data: annual total precipitation; long-term monthly total precipitation; and long-term annual absolute total maximum and minimum precipitation. Graphs contain annual total precipitation. 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.
