Scientists estimate sunlight in 18th and 19th century Tokyo using historical diaries
Research Organization of Information and SystemsSunlight, or solar radiation, is a critical factor in determining local weather, crop productivity, and climate. Before current instruments were available to accurately and automatically determine solar radiation at a given location, daily weather diaries were kept in Japan by aristocrats and farmers alike. A research team leveraged a digitized daily weather diary to estimate the solar radiation in Tokyo between 1720 and 1912, and validated the data against estimation from observed sunshine duration since 1896. The analysis detected two periods of low sunlight that coincided with two famines in Tokyo’s history.
