EST: KP17. Vana anatoomikum 

Vana anatoomikumi juures tehti ilmavaatlusi ülikooli meditsiiniprofessori Jacob Friedrich Parroti organiseerimisel alates 1820. aastatest. Aastatest 1828–1840 on säilinud pidev ilmaandmete aegrida. Mõõdeti õhurõhku ja -temperatuuri, tuule suunda kaheksarumbilise skaala ja tuule tugevust Beauforti skaala järgi, fikseeriti pilvisus, nähtavus, sademete esinemine ning harvem esinenud ilmanähtused. 

Johann Jacob Friedrich Wilhelm Parrot (14.10.1791–15.01.1841) oli baltisaksa loodusteadlane, Tartu Ülikooli füsioloogia ja patoloogia professor alates 1821. ja füüsikaprofessor alates 1826. aastast.

ENG: CP17. Old Anatomical Theatre 

Weather observations were organised at the Old Anatomical Theatre from the 1820s by Jacob Friedrich Parrot, the university’s professor of medicine. A continuous series of weather data has been preserved from the years 1828–1840. Air pressure and temperature were measured, wind direction was recorded on an eight-point scale and wind strength on the Beaufort scale. Also, cloud cover, visibility, precipitation, and less frequent weather phenomena were recorded.  

Johann Jacob Friedrich Wilhelm Parrot (14 October 1791 – 15 January 1841) was a Baltic German scientist, Professor of Physiology and Pathology at the University of Tartu from 1821, and Professor of Physics from 1826.
