Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to describe the history of meteorological observations in Gdańsk during pre-instrumental period as well as during the instrumental one till 1900. Air pressure data were used to assess the quality of data and metadata. On the basis of the results of short climatological analysis the problems connected with the methodology of the measurements, incomplete metadata and interpretations of the data were examined. The comparative analysis of the series from Gdańsk and homogenous data from Swedish stations Uppsala and Stockholm revealed some discrepancies. Although the problems concerning for example anomalously high values of air pressure in Gdańsk in the beginning of the nineteenth century appeared, the results of analysis of this element in Gdańsk did not reveal the errors in data which could eliminate them from the further analysis.
