Meteorological Observations at Pip Ivan (Chornohora) and Kasprowy Wierch (Tatras) Before the Second World War

The 80th anniversary of the grand opening of the observatories at the Kasprowy Wierch and Pip Ivan peaks is a suitable occasion to present the results of the meteorological observations of these institutions. During the Second World War, the Pip Ivan observatory was abandoned. This paper presents the meteorological conditions at the Pip Ivan station during in the period of October 1938 – July 1939. This is possible due to the original sheets of meteorological observations from the Pip Ivan observatory found in private collections. They were compared with the results of the meteorological observations from Kasprowy Wierch, acquired with the IMGW-PIB archive (for the period of February – July 1939).
