% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 149294 % Primary Name: AZAOUA % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Algeria % Latitude: 20.96700 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: 7.45000 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 531.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 19 % % IDs: gsod - 606940-99999 % usaf - 606940 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: b798605cb437d35f7282e9154f0e14f0 % Raw Data Hash: 972a0446f434dff71e90be3b037570ed % Adj Data Hash: 9747181ac0e0e860177a09f4501212ed % % 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 2011 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.819 3.654 2011 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 28.491 0.654 2011 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 32.328 0.951 2011 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 34.498 0.990 2011 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 34.306 0.876 2011 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 33.182 0.448 2011 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 31.823 0.940 2011 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.572 0.082 2011 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.490 1.217 2011 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.017 -0.016 2012 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.351 -0.568 2012 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.155 0.430 2012 3 25.451 1.494 1 0 NaN NaN 21.973 -1.193 2012 4 31.161 2.533 0 0 31.161 2.533 29.954 2.117 2012 5 34.701 2.532 0 0 34.701 2.532 33.502 2.125 2012 6 35.131 0.831 0 0 35.131 0.831 34.773 1.264 2012 7 34.742 0.520 0 0 34.742 0.520 34.082 0.651 2012 8 33.878 0.353 0 0 33.878 0.353 33.120 0.387 2012 9 32.796 1.122 0 0 32.796 1.122 32.167 1.284 2012 10 27.780 0.498 0 0 27.780 0.498 27.184 0.695 2012 11 24.798 2.734 0 0 24.798 2.734 23.755 2.482 2012 12 18.280 0.455 0 0 18.280 0.455 17.865 0.831 2013 1 15.217 -1.493 0 0 15.217 -1.493 15.193 -0.725 2013 2 18.651 -0.866 1 0 NaN NaN 19.253 0.528 2013 3 28.355 4.398 0 0 28.355 4.398 27.305 4.139 2013 4 30.421 1.793 0 0 30.421 1.793 29.216 1.379 2013 5 34.835 2.667 0 0 34.835 2.667 33.553 2.176 2013 6 34.928 0.627 0 0 34.928 0.627 34.587 1.079 2013 7 35.257 1.034 0 0 35.257 1.034 34.149 0.718 2013 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 33.049 0.315 2013 9 37.746 6.072 1 0 NaN NaN 32.122 1.239 2013 10 30.556 3.274 1 0 NaN NaN 26.412 -0.078
