No ordinary observer - Henry Storks Eaton was President of the Meteorological Society 1876-77. British Rainfall 1908 has a longish obituary item about him.
Thanks Tom. The Royal Charter event was a test of the new system, chosen mainly because of the historical interest. We will be running similar experiments for a large number of historical extreme weather events (ideas welcome!). We will select a subset to rerun with warmer SSTs and changed GHG concentrations, and that may include the Royal Charter event. We also hope to downscale some of the storms or heavy rain events. And, we will also be extending the 20th Century Reanalysis to near present, and rerunning with both cooler and warmer SSTs etc to look at modern events with a global focus. Lots to do!
Mr Eaton noted 1.16 inches of rainfall at Little Bredy for 25th-26th.

He was a very dedicated observer!

Ah, that would help explain his dedication! Great to know this - thanks!
Are you planning a re-run but with today's SST and other climate related changes?
