% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 151584 % Primary Name: KING GEORGE ISLAND % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Antarctica % Latitude: -62.08300 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: -58.40000 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 267.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 12 % % IDs: gsod - 892500-99999 % usaf - 892500 % wmo - 89250 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % World Meteorological Organization Metadata % % Site Hash: e838af11d6237cf404fbc11088597e9b % Raw Data Hash: e9dc819b72e5ff85a6f600c30de7bdb7 % Adj Data Hash: 95490d09187981c53c1e16953a3ba99e % % 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 2000 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -3.363 3.658 2000 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -7.078 -0.205 2000 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.655 -1.446 2000 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.704 0.721 2000 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -0.704 0.134 2000 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.461 0.147 2001 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 1.426 0.107 2001 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.703 -0.720 2001 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.327 -0.008 2001 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -2.670 -0.933 2001 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -0.917 2.907 2001 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.063 0.766 2001 7 -7.393 1.458 1 0 NaN NaN -6.832 0.188 2001 8 -4.565 4.139 0 0 -4.565 4.139 -3.475 3.397 2001 9 -3.863 2.177 0 0 -3.863 2.177 -2.169 2.040 2001 10 -2.326 1.930 0 0 -2.326 1.930 -0.661 1.764 2001 11 -1.883 0.786 0 0 -1.883 0.786 0.211 1.049 2001 12 -0.351 1.166 0 0 -0.351 1.166 1.276 0.961 2002 1 0.528 1.039 0 0 0.528 1.039 2.181 0.861 2002 2 1.000 1.408 1 0 NaN NaN 2.583 1.161 2002 3 -2.181 -0.685 0 0 -2.181 -0.685 0.109 -0.226 2002 4 -1.502 2.067 0 0 -1.502 2.067 0.330 2.068 2002 5 -8.303 -2.647 0 0 -8.303 -2.647 -5.768 -1.944 2002 6 -13.915 -6.255 1 0 NaN NaN -8.818 -2.989 2002 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -7.016 0.005 2002 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.304 1.568 2002 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -2.779 1.429 2002 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.406 -2.981 2002 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.131 -0.293 2002 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.781 0.467 2003 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 1.857 0.537 2003 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2.196 0.773 2003 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.117 -0.218 2003 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -0.463 1.275 2003 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -2.357 1.467 2003 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -7.312 -1.483
