Explanation:
Observations (from Sp. "observaciones", direct translation), defined.

1. The act of noting and recording something, such as a phenomenon, with instruments.
2. The result or record of such notation: a meteorological observation.

An alternative translation, which is less obvious but more specific, is "recorded occurrences"

Example:

During the specified observation period, each occurrence of a tasrget problems is noted on a data recording form with an X. The X's are totaled for each period and can be expressed as a nuymber of occurences per the length of the observation period. An example of frequency recording during a 3-hour observation period in which there were 5 **recorded occurrences** (asterisks supplied) of the target period is recorded below:
