Title
A name given to the resource
Charting the Ephemeral: The Evolution of Climate Knowledge
Description
An account of the resource
A collection of maps and charts illustrating techniques and methods for manually depicting weather data. The project explores the ways in which early meteorologists sought to understand their environments, how the technological advancements such as the invention of the barometer, telegraph, and RADAR impacted knowledge of world climate.

Title
A name given to the resource
An untitled, copperplate world map (First meteorological map)
Description
An account of the resource
First meteorological map, charting the directions of trade winds and monsoons. Information was collected from navigators familiar with ocean transits, and also from his own tropical experience on St. Helena (1677–1678). On the map, rows of brief lines show the course of the winds; the sharp ends of those lines point to wind sources. Where winds go back and forth, notably in the monsoon-prone area of the Indian Ocean, the lines are thicker than elsewhere and point both ways.
