Operation Weather Rescue

Operation Weather Rescue needs volunteers to help digitise 2 million meteorological observations taken at the weather observatory on top of Ben Nevis between 1893 and 1904. These data remain the most comprehensive set of mountain weather observations ever taken in the UK and could help answer many scientific questions.
