This dataset encompasses early instrumental measurement series that have been gathered and digitised in the context of the Swiss National Science Foundation project Nr. 169676 “Swiss Early Instrumental Measurements for Studying Decadal Climate Variability (CHIMES)”. The newest version of the dataset (v2_2020-04) contains an update of certain URLs indicated on the description (first page) of each PDF-Document. It does not contain any new measurement series compared to the original version. An overview on the individual series on ZENODO is given in the summary table in the description PDF-file. The dataset, organised alphabetically by location name is provided as a .zip-file. General information and terms of use are indicated on the first page of each file. To find further information about all Swiss measurement series (also the ones not published on ZENODO) consider the full inventory provided separately as CSV-file.
