% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 13278 % Primary Name: MACAS % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Ecuador % Latitude: 2.40000 +/- 0.00500 % Longitude: -78.03000 +/- 0.00500 % Elevation (m): 1015.00 +/- 0.50 % # of Months: 8 % % IDs: ca - 306000000007 % % Sources: Colonial Archive % % Site Hash: 89c925d78dc3f3f5b359c0d55ab244a1 % Raw Data Hash: 6292d784c5ee473f3f09c2efb485a12d % Adj Data Hash: 6292d784c5ee473f3f09c2efb485a12d % % 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 1933 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.922 -0.473 1933 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.304 -0.379 1933 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.705 -0.227 1933 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.316 -0.359 1933 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.670 -0.146 1933 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.882 -0.809 1933 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.345 -0.506 1933 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.886 -0.928 1933 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.030 -0.659 1933 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.172 -1.083 1933 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.342 -0.959 1933 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.189 -1.084 1934 1 21.100 -0.599 0 0 21.100 -0.599 21.596 -0.798 1934 2 21.300 -0.688 0 0 21.300 -0.688 21.815 -0.869 1934 3 20.400 -1.836 0 0 20.400 -1.836 21.759 -1.174 1934 4 20.700 -1.279 0 0 20.700 -1.279 21.927 -0.748 1934 5 22.200 0.080 0 0 22.200 0.080 22.495 -0.321 1934 6 19.600 -2.396 0 0 19.600 -2.396 21.509 -1.182 1934 7 23.700 1.545 0 0 23.700 1.545 23.040 0.189 1934 8 22.350 0.232 0 0 22.350 0.232 22.776 -0.039 1934 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.923 0.234 1934 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.601 -0.654 1934 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.126 -0.174 1934 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.310 0.037 1935 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.237 -0.158 1935 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.968 -0.715 1935 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.804 -0.128 1935 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.493 -0.182 1935 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.264 -0.552 1935 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.018 -0.674 1935 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.269 -0.582 1935 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.689 -1.125
