The Storminess
Record from Armagh Observatory, N. Ireland 1796-2002.
Introduction
Armagh
Observatory was established in 1790 by Archbishop Richard Robinson. Robinson
was the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh (Butler and Hoskins 1987).
Although the main focus of the Observatory was astronomy, daily meteorological
records were kept from 1794, when the Observatory became operational. Only air
temperature and barometric pressure were recorded during 1794 and 1795. From
1796 to 1843 wind direction was also recorded and a brief written daily weather
comment was also included in the daily weather register. The daily description
of weather included reference to storms and their effects. The only gap in the
record is from mid-1825 to 1832 when no weather data was collected. In
addition, no daily weather descriptions were recorded for 1883. From 1844 to
the present there is also wind strength data, mostly instrumental but also some
observer data. This makes this dataset the longest ongoing weather record on the
island of Ireland.
The
Observatory is located on top of a drumlin on its own site of approximately 14
acres. The Observatory although located on the edge of Armagh city is still
predominantly surrounded by farmland and the playing fields of a number of schools.
The city has grown in size from around 7,000 to 15,000 people over the study
period and is highly dispersed and low density. A study by Coughlin and Butler
(1998) showed the effects of urbanisation on the mean air temperature at the
Observatory were minimal. However, the one threat to the quality of the wind
data from the Observatory was the growth of trees around the main building.
This led to the original cup anemometer on the roof of the Observatory to be
abandoned in favour of the more suitable site of the Back Lawn where the
current meteorological site is located. This paper will examine the weather
diary record of storms in Armagh from 1796 to 1999 and the
instrumental/observation record from 1844-1999 and will highlight some of the
difficulties in assembling such chronologies, even from one site.
The weather
diary record from 1796-1999.
This
data was abstracted from the daily weather diary. From the earliest weather
diaries the recording of storms seems to have been a key component of the description
(Appendix 1). The definition of a storm used was the use of the words
ÔtempestÕ, ÔstormÕ or ÔgaleÕ in the written description. The description must
clearly indicate that this event was not a gust, thunderstorm or snowstorm and
that the wind was sustained for a length of time. Table 1 contains a brief list
of some of the most noteworthy storms that have affected Armagh as recorded in
the weather diaries.

Analysis of
the weather diary record.
The
annual incidence of storms from the descriptive record at Armagh from 1796 to
2000 was plotted and fitted with a 10 year running mean (Fig. 1). Relatively
high numbers of storms were recorded from 1796 to 1825 and 1835 to 1844 and it
is assumed that the time period between would also contain relatively high
numbers of storms (Appendix 2). Three years have more than 30 storms and this
includes 1796 with 31. This block of relatively high numbers of storms can be
associated with increased storminess symptomatic of the Little Ice Age that
probably extended up to end of the 18th century and into the 19th century
(Grove 1988). The Little Ice Age was by no means a completely cold period with
years of relatively high temperatures as well as periods of cold, storms and
disturbed weather. From 1845 to 1910 relatively few storms were recorded at
Armagh, typically less than 5 per annum.
A
change occurs in the 1890Õs with an increase in the numbers of storms being
recorded associated with a decline in temperatures. This also coincides with
LambÕs (1991) assessment that the 1890Õs was probably the stormiest decade of
the 19th century. From 1911 until 1958 there is a generally rising number of
storms being recorded. This includes the exceptional year of 1950 when 35
storms were recorded. There is a decline in the number of storms from 1960 to
1976 and this is followed by a pulse of increased numbers of storms being
recorded until 1985. This includes 1982, the stormiest year on record with 36 storms.
This is followed by a sharp decline in the number of storms being recorded up
to and including 1999. This trend has continued in 2000 and 2001.
There
is a very clear monthly distribution of gales for Armagh (Fig. 2). Most gales
occur in the Winter half of the year most notably January and December
(Appendix 3). There is a decline in gales towards the summer half of the year
with very few gales occurring from April to August inclusive but all months
record some gales.
There
is also significant variations in the seasonal distribution of gales from the
weather diary (Appendix 4). The Winter (December, January, February) gales plot
shows relatively high numbers at the start of the record from 1796 up to the
1840's (Fig. 3). Low number of Winter gales are recorded up until the early
1900's with the exception of a few years in the 1890's. This is followed by a
period of relatively high numbers of gales particularly in the 1920's and
1930's and early 1980's. There has been a decline in gales from the mid 1980's
onwards. This pattern mirrors the annual totals as would be expected with most
gales occurring in Winter. The pattern for Spring (March, April, May) gales is
similar to that of the Winter and Annual pattern with mini peaks of gales in
1796, 1800,1821, 1948, 1964-1965, 1968 and 1985 (Fig. 4). The Summer (June,
July, August) gales plot is different to this pattern as there is a noticeable
cluster most of gales in the 1950's and 1960s with a very exceptional 8 gales
in the Summer of 1951 (Fig. 5). The Autumn (September, October, November) gales
pattern reverts back to the Winter, Spring and overall pattern (Fig. 6).
One
potential weakness with this record is that of observer bias. Work is still
ongoing at Armagh in an attempt to identify the meteorological observers and
the time periods they covered and so test for bias.

The observational/measured
record from 1844-1999.
The
observational/measured record is a much more complex series consisting of six
components which have been combined together. The first two components cover
the period from 1844 to 1882 and are not directly compatible with the rest of
the chronology in a strict methodological sense. The remaining four components
from 1883 are relatively easily converted to a single standardised format.
a) Component
1: 1844 January 1 to 1860 March 3.
The
data here appears to be based on an early version of the Beaufort land scale to
which actual wind speed was added (Table 2). As a result a gale is defined as
force 8 but the given miles per hour is only 24mph (1mph =0.87 knots). The
effect of using this scale was the over-recording of gales and their strength.
As a result only gales that were given as force 12 or force 12+ were used. This
would still include a small number of events that would not be classified as
gales today. The data was based on twice-daily observation of wind speed and
direction, recorded from the anemometer located on the roof of the Observatory.
A further minor complication is that prior to 1st April 1852 astronomical time
was used, after this date standard Irish Civil Time (Dublin Time) was used.
Astronomical time starts at noon as opposed to midnight. All the data in this
component has been corrected to civil time.

b) Component
2: 1860 March 26 to 1882 December 31.
Component
2 consists of the total number of miles (1 mile =1.609km) travelled by the
anemometer cup in a 12-hour period (Table 3). Clearly it is very difficult to
interpret this data in the context of the overall chronology as the minimum
miles travelled to guarantee a gale is 39 and the maximum is 565. Obviously the
more miles travelled in a 12-hour period the more likely it is that a gale has
occurred. An arbitrary figure of 450 miles travelled was chosen to indicate
when gales might have occurred. This was checked against a small amount of
hourly data that is available for Armagh from 1874-1882. This showed that the
450 miles travelled was an adequate threshold to use as it picked up two gales
that occurred during this time period.
It
must be noted that two additional 12-hour periods which had totals in excess of
450 miles also occurred, but which were not recorded as gales in the hourly
data. Both had sustained periods of high winds. This at least indicates that no
gales will be missed using the 450 mile threshold, but that there is likely to
be some over-recording of gales. When this threshold is applied to the period
from 1860 to 1873 a further seven possible gales can be identified (Table 4).
This part of the chronology is based on twice daily observation of wind speed
and direction, recorded from the anemometer located on the roof of the
Observatory.

Component 3:
1883 January 1 to December 31.
The
data comes from a separate instrumental hourly time series from the Automatic
Weather Station that was in operation. The normal twice daily observations
appear not to have been taken or recorded during this year. A gale in this
component is designated as 53mph. This is as a result of the correction of the
calibration of the Robinson Cup Anemometer which over recorded wind strength by
4/15 or a reduction in the calibration applied to the raw data from 3.0 to 2.2.
This calibration correction applies to all measured wind speed using the
Robinson Cup Anemometer from 1904 backwards in time. If the earlier data is not
recalibrated then the number, duration and strength of gales are dramatically
and erroneously increased.
Component 4:
1884 January 1 to 1919 December 31.
The
data are based on a modified Beaufort scale using knots where a gale is given
as Beaufort force 6 which is given as 34 knots (Table 5). This part of the data
set is based on twice-daily observations of wind speed and direction. Any data
from 1884 to 1904 was recalibrated as outlined above.

Component 5:
1920 January 1 to 1958 December 31.
This
is a standard Beaufort scale where a gale is equal to Force 8 or 39 mph (Table
5). The data are as a result of twice-daily observations of wind speed and
direction from the back lawn of the Observatory.
Component 6:
1959 January 1 to 1999 December 31.
This
is a standard Beaufort scale where a gale is 37 knots which is the mid-point of
Beaufort Force 8 when using knots (Table 5). The data are based on twice-daily
observations of wind speed and direction from the back lawn of the Observatory.
From 7th March 1965 onwards the data is based on once a day observation at 0900
GMT.
Analysis
of the instrumental/observational record
The
instrumental/observational days with gale record was plotted from 1844 to 1999
and fitted with a 10-year running mean (Fig. 7). This includes the data from
1844 to 1883 which although not directly comparable with the remainder of the
data set has been included as outlined in the methodology described above. Four
distinct periods of increased occurrence of days with gale can be identified.
These are 1884 to 1905, 1917-1919, 1947 to 1964 and 1977 to 1991 Since 1993 no
gales have been recorded at Armagh at the 0900 GMT observation. Clearly, from the
data there is a quasi-cyclical occurrence of increased numbers of days with
gales with a mean cycle of 31 years or 27 years if the less prominent increase
in days with gales from1868 to 1874 is included.
The
second item to note is the spike of increased days with gales during 1918 and
1919, these were the two highest individual years with 24 and 12 gales
respectively. The only other year that comes close to this number of gales
being recorded is 1982 when 12 gales were observed. Clearly this anomaly is worthy
of further research. A check of other Irish meteorological stations showed that
some had the spike and some did not (Table 6). The spike is clearly evident at
Belmullet, is evident only in 1918 at Malin Head, and evident only in 1919 in
the two most southerly stations at Roches Point and Valentia; it is not present
at Donaghdee. It is not clear what caused this dramatic increase in the number
of days with gales being recorded. It is also possible to speculate that the
spread of the influenza virus that killed in excess of 20 million people during
this time period may have been aided by increased storminess.

Valentia, Belmullet, Donaghee, Malin Head for 1918 and 1919.

There
is a very clear monthly distribution of gales for Armagh similar to that of the
weather diary, but there are some differences (Fig. 8). Most gales occur in
four months only from November to February (Appendix 6). There are relatively
low numbers of gales for the remaining eight months of the year from March to
October inclusive with gales being recorded for every month of the year.
Insert
Fig. 7 here
Insert Fig. 8 here
There
is also significant variations in the seasonal distribution of gales from the
instrumental/observational data from 1884 to 2000 (Appendix 7). The Winter (December,
January and February) gales plot shows relatively high numbers in the early
1900's, the 1920's the late 1950's, the early 1980's and the early 1990's. This
is a slightly different pattern to that from the weather (Fig. 9). Low number
of Winter gales are recorded from 1907 to 1917, the 1930's, the 1940;s,
surprisingly the 1960s, the 1970's and most of the 1990's. This pattern to some
extent mirrors the annual totals as would be expected with most gales occurring
in Winter.
The pattern for
Spring (March, April and May) gales is similar to that of the Winter and Annual
pattern but with much lower numbers of gales. This plot is noticeable for the
exceptional value of 7 gales in the Spring of 1919 as discussed earlier (Fig.
10). The Summer (June, July and August) gales plot just shows the occasional
gale one summer in every ten or so on average (Fig. 11). The Autumn (September,
October and November) gales pattern reverts back to the Winter, Spring and
overall pattern but with 12 gales recorded in Autumn 1918 three times higher
than the next highest Autumn total (Fig. 12).

Comparison of
the two records of storminess at Armagh Observatory
from 1884 to 1999.
As
a result of the differences of the two methodologies in generating the storm
chronologies it would be exceedingly unlikely that the two records would match
numerically but that they should match in terms of the trends. The weather
diary dataset would be expected to produce more gales/storms as it covers the
whole day and not just one or two specific measurements per day. At the annual
level there is a strong similarity for most of the record (Fig. 13). The only
periods when the match is relatively poor is 1896 to 1908 and the spike years
of 1918 and 1919. In both these cases there was more observation of gales than
that recorded in the weather diary. This indicates that the meteorological
observer was failing to record storms in the daily weather diary.
A
similar pattern emerges when the 10-year running mean of the two chronologies
are compared (Fig. 14). The exception is the period from 1922 to 1936 when the
observation record shows a rising incidence of storms, whereas the weather
diary shows a declining incidence of storms. The peaks in gale/storm incidence
in the 1950Õs and 1980Õs are clearly shown as the intervening trough in the
1960Õs. The decline in gales/storms in the 1990Õs is evident in both records.
Long
and short term changes in storminess
The
long term trend in storminess in Armagh as identified in the two different
records was calculated using a linear regression. This was also compared with
linear regressions from the three west coast stations at Valentia, Belmullet
and Malin Head (Table 7). The regressions at the 95% confidence level show that
the Armagh and Valentia records show no significant tend although the Valentia
hourly shows an increase of 1 gale per year every 14 years. Belmullet shows a
decline of 1 gale every 5 years over the length of record, whereas, Malin Head
shows an increase of nearly 1 gale every 3 years. There is no overall pattern
for these four stations.

In
order to examine the recent changes in storminess in Armagh over the 30-year
period from 1970-1999 linear regressions of the two different measures of
storminess were calculated. Again this was compared with linear regressions
from the three west coast stations at Valentia, Belmullet and Malin Head (Table
7). This shows some very different results in comparison with the overall
regression figures. Armagh and Valentia show a decline in the number of gales
being recorded of the order of 1 every 5 to 7 years, whereas Belmullet shows an
increase of nearly 1 gale every 3 years and Malin Head showing an increase of
nearly 1 gale every year. This indicates an overall pattern of the south and
east receiving fewer gales and the north and west receiving more gales, possibly,
indicating a northward shift in storm tracks, which Armagh Observatory because
of its low gale environment is not yet picking up. This is supported by the
only other published storm chronology for Ireland which is for Dublin from
1715-1999 (Sweeney, 2000). A decadal comparison between the Dublin record and
the two Armagh record shows substantial similarities, but also some differences
(Fig. 15).
As
a result of incomplete decadal totals, it is only possible to do the comparison
from the 1840Õs onwards. From 1840 until the early part of the 20th century
relative low levels of storms are being recorded. For the next 40 years the
Dublin record more closely resembles the Armagh instrumental/observation
record, even in terms of numbers of storms being recorded. From the 1960Õs
onwards the Dublin record more closely resembles the description record in
terms of the general trend, but the actual numbers of storms are very
different. The comparison also suggests that there is a decadal lag between
Dublin and Armagh in terms of peaks and troughs. The decade with the most
storms in Armagh is the 1950Õs whereas in Dublin it is the 1960Õs.
Conclusions
Very
significant variations in storminess have been recorded over the last 200 years
for Armagh observatory despite the sheltered inland nature of the site. This
includes evidence for increased storminess at the end of the Little Ice Age.
However, there is no evidence of increased storminess over the last 30 years.
When similar records from other Irish stations are examined, there is some
evidence of a possible northwards movement of the storm tracks that have
affected the island of Ireland over the last 30 years.
