M. Maugeri et al., RECONSTRUCTION OF DAILY PRESSURE MAPS OVER ITALY DURING SOME EXTREME EVENTS OF THE 19TH-CENTURY, Nuovo cimento della Societa italiana di fisica. C, Geophysics and space physics, 21(2), 1998, pp. 135-147
The quality and availability of daily meteorological data for the reco
nstruction of atmospheric circulation over Italy in the period between
the Italian political Unity (1860) and the development of the Central
Office for Meteorology (1879) is studied. Examples of atmospheric cir
culation reconstructed for some extreme events are presented.
