Surface Observations from Punta Arenas, in extreme southern Chile. WMO station ID 85934. Period of record 1896-1954. The original forms were scanned at the Museo Salesiano Maggiorino Borgatello, a private regional museum in Punta Arenas with funding provided by NOAA through the Environmental Services Data and Information Management (ESDIM) program carryover. However, since the Museum is a private organization not affiliated with the Chilean government or its agencies, its directors required an agreement with a non-profit organization in order for them to agree to allow NOAA to digitize their data and to make those digitized data free and unrestricted to the world community. This effort required some discretion as well as the intervention of a non-profit since the museum specifically expressed a desire not to work with the Chilean national meteorological service. CD-ROMs containing the images were sent to NCDC via the National Weather Service International Activities Office. A CDMP keying task was completed in 2006-07 to key and ingest data from 1896-1941 into digital data sets. This period had a consistent format, with one image for each ten-day period in each month
