Hvordan kan gamle vejrobservationer fra danske skibe helt tilbage til 1700-tal være til gavn for klimaforskningen i dag? Kom til #Historiskedage i Øksnehallen lørdag, den 29. marts kl. 11 og se og hør @adamjonkronegh og mig på Blå Scene fortælle om #ROPEWALK! I dette projekt digitaliserer @rigsarkivet og @dmidk millioner af gamle iagttagelser.

Just finished the first part of our #ROPEWALK project: all ship observations, consisting of 31000 ship journals with slightly more than 2 million pages have been scanned now!

The National Archive (Rigsarkivet) in Viborg scanned more than 700 shelf meters, an enormous work that took 9 persons one and a half year. Here Adam Jon Kronegh and I present the project on TV (see https://lnkd.in/daQSaDUh, in Danish).

This project has been made possible thanks to generous funding from A.P. Møller Fonden.

Today, I presented a poster at the #EGU24 in Vienna. On behalf of my colleagues #AdamJonKronegh and #EsbenSkov and myself, I presented the actual status of our #ROPEWALK ship journal digitization project, which is a joint venture of #Rigsarkivet (the National Archive of Denmark) and #DMI, funded by A.P. Møller Fonden. More than 50 people wanted to find out how far we've got with reading the data by means of machine learning. Maybe we can go into production mode soon, so see me at #EGU25!
In the #ROPEWALK project, #AdamJonKronegh and I are looking for weather observations in millions of logbook pages. In one of them, Adam made a remarkable find, namely a score of a minuet. It turned out that this is the raw version of the Danish/Norwegian sea hero Tordenskjold's logbook on his flagship Løvendals Galej.
Read the whole story (https://www.rigsarkivet.dk/nyheder/300-aar-gamle-noder-kan-foeres-tilbage-til-tordenskiolds-skib/) and listen to the music for the first time in 300 years. And if you know anything about the music, please contact me!

What do we know about the weather on a particular day in the late 16th century? Not much - not even from our #ROPEWALK logbooks.

But there is an exception, the defeat of the Spanish Armada on 8 August 1588. With a different circulation pattern, I would probably write this text in Spanish.

Great #EGU23 session (both talks and posters!) on "Climate of the last two millennia" with many interesting discussions. I gave an update on our
@Rigsarkivet - @dmidk project #ROPEWALK. The logbooks of all Danish ships involved in the Battle of Køge Bay 1677 will be digitised.

Dette er jobbet, du vil have! #DMI og #Rigsarkivet arbejder sammen i projektet #ROPEWALK, hvis formål er at digitalisere alle skibsjournaler og logbøger i arkivet - kun hvis vi kender fortidens vejr, kan vi sige noget om fremtidens klima! Logbøgerne skal transskriberes med hjælp af #machinelearning, og vi søger en dygtig og idérig #datascientist til projektet.
