Previous work related to central‐Auckland site Albert Park showed that sparse site histories for inner‐city weather stations can be usefully supplemented by mining searchable online historical archives (Papers Past, DigitalNZ), at least as far back as 1909. Assessment of potential is extended here back to 1853, within the context of developing a long‐term rainfall record for Auckland. Although late 19th century sources are thinner and of poorer quality, much useful information could be gleaned about the locations and exposures of early sites. Hypothesised implications for the rainfall record suggest that all early site data need to be adjusted upwards.

1853–2020年中奥克兰地区的降雨：遗址的历史及其对建立长期降雨记录的影响

先前与奥克兰中部站点Albert Park有关的工作表明，至少可以追溯到1909年，通过挖掘可搜索的在线历史档案（Papers Past，DigitalNZ），可以有用地补充市区内气象站的稀疏站点历史。在为奥克兰建立长期降雨记录的背景下，这里扩展到了1853年。尽管19世纪末期的资料稀少且质量较差，但可以收集有关早期遗址的位置和暴露程度的许多有用信息。对降雨记录的假设假设表明，所有早期站点数据都需要向上调整。
