9# From Paul Eggert (2017-02-20): |
10# 11# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is: 12# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition), 13# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003). 14# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources. 15# |
16# Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source 17# for time zone data was the International Air Transport |
18# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), 19# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries 20# of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted, 21# IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990. 22# 23# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences, 24# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which 25# I found in the UCLA library. 26# 27# For data circa 1899, a common source is: 28# Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94. |
29# https://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359 |
30# 31# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is 32# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997). 33# |
34# European-style abbreviations are commonly used along the Mediterranean. 35# For sub-Saharan Africa abbreviations were less standardized. |
36# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT |
37# for UT +00 through +03, respectively, 38# but in 1997 Mark R V Murray reported that 39# 'SAST' is the official abbreviation for +02 in the country of South Africa, 40# 'CAT' is commonly used for +02 in countries north of South Africa, and 41# 'WAT' is probably the best name for +01, as the common phrase for |
42# the area that includes Nigeria is "West Africa". |
43# |
44# To summarize, the following abbreviations seemed to have some currency: 45# +00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time 46# +02 CAT Central Africa Time 47# +02 SAST South Africa Standard Time 48# and Murray suggested the following abbreviation: 49# +01 WAT West Africa Time 50# Murray's suggestion seems to have caught on in news reports and the like. 51# I vaguely recall 'WAT' also being used for -01 in the past but 52# cannot now come up with solid citations. |
53# |
54# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome! |
55# +02 WAST West Africa Summer Time 56# +03 CAST Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used) 57# +03 SAST South Africa Summer Time (no longer used) 58# +03 EAT East Africa Time 59# 'EAT' also seems to have caught on; the others are rare but are paired 60# with better-attested non-DST abbreviations. |
