Digitised Climate Archive Documents: aerological surveys (elevation observations) of metropolitan France

Providing files in pdf or jpeg format, obtained by scanning, of meteorological observations at altitudes recorded in metropolitan France.

Weather-France retains its climate archives to ensure its missions of conservation of climate memory and scientific characterisation of past and future climate.

These are mainly surveys of meteorological observations gathered on metropolitan territory, ultramarine territory or former French colonies, and documentation on meteorological stations, observation techniques and measuring instruments, since the creation of the first French meteorological service in 1855.

Météo-France offers access to these funds through a website that provides several thousand inventory descriptions and offers access to some of these archives in digital form (JPEG or PDF format). The search can be done by weather station, rating, weather parameter and/or date.
