% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 13209 % Primary Name: PATUCA (USAF) % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Ecuador % Latitude: -2.71700 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: -78.25000 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 543.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 27 % % IDs: gsod - 842044-99999 % icao - SEPC % usaf - 842044 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: 0cab432c35ba51a5e6ee9e8b89867f78 % Raw Data Hash: 29cacfad18f72fe90e0ae1e9d1432410 % Adj Data Hash: 2e30478b76461efea15fe8d53503538b % % The data for this station is presented below in several columns and in % several forms. The temperature values are reported as "raw", % "adjusted", and "regional expectation". % % The "raw" values reflect the observations as originally ingested by % the Berkeley Earth system from one or more originating archive(s). % These "raw" values may reflect the merger of more than one temperature % time series if multiple archives reported values for this location. % Alongside the raw data we have also provided a flag indicating which % values failed initial quality control checks. A further column % dates at which the raw data may be subject to continuity "breaks" % due to documented station moves (denoted "1"), prolonged measurement % gaps (denoted "2"), documented time of observation changes (denoted "3") % and other empirically determined inhomogeneities (denoted "4"). % % In many cases, raw temperature data contains a number of artifacts, % caused by issues such as typographical errors, instrumentation changes, % station moves, and urban or agricultural development near the station. % The Berkeley Earth analysis process attempts to identify and estimate % the impact of various kinds of data quality problems by comparing each % time series to neighboring series. At the end of the analysis process, % the "adjusted" data is created as an estimate of what the weather at % this location might have looked like after removing apparent biases. % This "adjusted" data will generally to be free from quality control % issues and be regionally homogeneous. Some users may find this % "adjusted" data that attempts to remove apparent biases more % suitable for their needs, while other users may prefer to work % with raw values. % % Lastly, we have provided a "regional expectation" time series, based % on the Berkeley Earth expected temperatures in the neighborhood of the % station. This incorporates information from as many weather stations as % are available for the local region surrounding this location. Note % that the regional expectation may be a systematically a bit warmer or % colder than the weather stations by a few degrees due to differences % in mean elevation and other local characteristics. % % For each temperature time series, we have also included an "anomaly" % time series that removes both the seasonality and the long-term mean. % These anomalies may provide an easier way of seeing changes through % time. % % Reported temperatures are in Celsius and reflect monthly averages. As % these files are intended to be summaries for convenience, additional % information, including more detailed flagging and metadata, may be % available in our whole data set files. % % The Berkeley Earth analysis was run on 15-Nov-2013 19:55:48 % % Raw Data QC Continuity Adjusted Data Regional Expectation % Year, Month, Temperature, Anomaly, Failed, Breaks, Temperature, Anomaly, Temperature, Anomaly 1996 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.119 0.333 1996 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.295 0.369 1996 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.474 0.088 1996 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.817 -0.174 1996 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.294 0.104 1996 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.336 0.488 1996 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.189 0.148 1996 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.595 0.425 1996 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.371 0.409 1997 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.055 0.154 1997 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.241 0.201 1997 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.615 0.620 1997 4 25.244 0.816 1 0 NaN NaN 21.146 0.360 1997 5 24.178 -0.390 1 0 NaN NaN 21.407 0.481 1997 6 25.222 1.194 0 0 25.222 1.194 21.536 1.150 1997 7 23.306 -0.327 1 0 NaN NaN 20.921 0.930 1997 8 23.667 -0.165 0 0 23.667 -0.165 20.881 0.691 1997 9 24.937 0.447 0 0 24.937 0.447 22.004 1.156 1997 10 26.426 1.743 1 0 NaN NaN 22.554 1.513 1997 11 25.864 1.052 1 0 NaN NaN 22.000 0.830 1997 12 25.995 1.391 0 0 25.995 1.391 22.090 1.128 1998 1 25.853 1.310 0 0 25.853 1.310 22.339 1.438 1998 2 26.241 1.560 1 0 NaN NaN 22.847 1.808 1998 3 25.478 0.841 0 0 25.478 0.841 22.460 1.465 1998 4 26.853 2.425 1 0 NaN NaN 22.483 1.697 1998 5 26.081 1.513 0 0 26.081 1.513 22.199 1.273 1998 6 24.443 0.416 1 0 NaN NaN 21.150 0.764 1998 7 24.143 0.510 0 0 24.143 0.510 20.577 0.586 1998 8 24.869 1.037 0 0 24.869 1.037 21.309 1.119 1998 9 25.491 1.000 1 0 NaN NaN 21.786 0.937 1998 10 26.639 1.956 0 0 26.639 1.956 21.999 0.958 1998 11 27.494 2.682 1 0 NaN NaN 21.864 0.693 1998 12 24.756 0.152 1 0 NaN NaN 21.513 0.551 1999 1 25.794 1.252 1 0 NaN NaN 21.061 0.160 1999 2 25.628 0.946 0 0 25.628 0.946 21.056 0.016 1999 3 25.923 1.286 1 0 NaN NaN 21.274 0.279 1999 4 25.346 0.918 1 0 NaN NaN 20.628 -0.158 1999 5 25.108 0.540 1 0 NaN NaN 20.686 -0.240 1999 6 26.336 2.308 1 0 NaN NaN 20.647 0.261 1999 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.882 -0.109 1999 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.263 0.073 1999 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.063 0.214 1999 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.913 -0.128 1999 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.689 0.519 1999 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.991 0.029 2000 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.714 -0.187 2000 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.812 -0.227 2000 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.807 -0.188 2000 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.664 -0.123 2000 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.941 0.015 2000 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.745 0.359
