Description
Atmospheric Observations on board U.S. Arctic Steamer Jeannette, 1879-1881

In 1883, Lieutenants Giles B. Harber and William H. Schuetze journeyed to Siberia’s Lena Delta to retrieve the bodies and personal effects of the crew of USS Jeannette, an ill-fated expedition to the North Pole. Among the remains was the body of Passed Assistant Surgeon James Markham Ambler (1848-1881), his personal journal and a logbook of atmospheric conditions that he maintained throughout the expedition (1879-1881). One hundred and thirty years later, Dr. Ambler’s journal and weather observations, in the respective collections of the National Archives (NARA) and the Bureau of Medicine (BUMED), are to be used in the “Old Weather” project (http://www.oldweather.org/ ) headed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) and NARA. BUMED's historians brought the logbook to NARA which photographed it in 2012.
