TL;DR: The International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) as discussed by the authors is a major update (covering 1662-2007) of the world's most extensive surface marine meteorological data collection.

TL;DR: The 20CRv2c dataset as mentioned in this paper is the first ensemble of sub-daily global atmospheric conditions spanning over 100 years, which provides a best estimate of the weather at any given place and time as well as an estimate of its confidence and uncertainty.

TL;DR: In the early nineteenth century, the English East India Company (EEIC) archives were used by the British Library to store 900 log-books of EEIC ships containing daily instrumental measurements of temperature and pressure, and subjective estimates of wind speed and direction, from voyages across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans between 1789 and 1834 as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, selected Royal Navy logbooks from the period of 1938-47, kept in the U.K. National Archives, were used for climate change monitoring and prediction, and their inclusion in the climatic datasets requires that these paper records be abstracted from the world's archives, digitized into an electronic form, and blended into existing climate databases.

TL;DR: An overview and progress report on the development of Release 3.0 (R3.0) of the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) was presented at the American Geophysical Union 2014 Ocean Sciences Meeting.
