Monthly grid-point pressure data are reconstructed from station records of pressure for Europe since 1780. The region encompasses 3570oN to 30oW40oE. The reconstructions are based on a principal components regression technique, which relates surface pressure patterns to those of the station pressure data. The relationships are derived over a calibration period (19361995) and the results tested with independent data (the verification period, 18811935). The reconstructions are of excellent quality, although this is slightly lower for regions with poor station coverage in the early years, particularly during the summer months. The reconstructions are compared with other monthly mean pressure maps produced by Lamb and Johnson (1966) for the years 17801872 and by Kington (1980, 1988) for 17811785. Both of these map series show systematic biases relative to the present reconstructions. Copyright © 1999 Royal Meteorological Society [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
