The purpose of this weather station was to facilitate meteorological research in the unique environment that the summit of Ben Nevis provides, as it is regularly situated in the direct path of Atlantic storms. Throughout its 21-year lifespan, men lived and worked at the observatory, and the data collected at the weather station is generally considered to be one of the most extensive and insightful collections of British mountain weather data. Certain members of the meteorological team were also inspired to advance multiple areas of scientific research from their time at the weather station. Most notably, Charles Thomson Rees Wilson was inspired to invent the cloud chamber from phenomenon he witnessed at the weather station. Today, the ruins of the weather station and observatory still remain on the summit of Ben Nevis, providing shelter for mountaineers. 1883 JosephCameron English Site 383 07/04/2022 04/07/2022 12:16:47 am https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/article/our-records-ben-nevis-observatory 4000cm x 2000cm x 300cm current,56.79668215988459,-5.003467798233033; Operational: 1883 - 1904.
