% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 15863 % Primary Name: TEL AFER % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Iraq % Latitude: 36.36700 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: 42.48300 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 373.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 22 % % IDs: gsod - 406030-99999 % icao - ORTF % usaf - 406030 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: 07da4fefd2a2c80d80cec27440e4b8b0 % Raw Data Hash: 07dbfbc4f81d598b5508cd0e25d57ceb % Adj Data Hash: 82352bb8088299f020d80feaa1704705 % % 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 1987 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.917 -0.571 1987 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.934 0.350 1988 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.124 0.063 1988 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.481 0.246 1988 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.196 -0.876 1988 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.743 -0.811 1988 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.580 0.354 1988 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 30.296 -0.593 1988 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 34.844 0.704 1988 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 33.725 0.126 1988 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 29.309 0.025 1988 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.090 -0.323 1988 11 11.587 -3.080 1 0 NaN NaN 11.769 -2.719 1988 12 11.427 2.663 1 0 NaN NaN 8.461 -0.123 1989 1 4.483 -2.757 1 0 NaN NaN 4.924 -2.137 1989 2 9.274 -0.140 1 0 NaN NaN 7.944 -1.290 1989 3 14.070 0.818 1 0 NaN NaN 14.478 1.405 1989 4 24.915 6.182 1 0 NaN NaN 23.090 4.537 1989 5 28.475 3.069 0 0 28.475 3.069 27.541 2.314 1989 6 30.931 -0.137 0 0 30.931 -0.137 30.817 -0.072 1989 7 35.585 1.266 0 0 35.585 1.266 35.267 1.127 1989 8 34.588 0.809 0 0 34.588 0.809 34.068 0.469 1989 9 28.964 -0.500 0 0 28.964 -0.500 28.747 -0.538 1989 10 22.889 0.296 0 0 22.889 0.296 22.405 -0.008 1989 11 14.597 -0.070 0 0 14.597 -0.070 14.200 -0.288 1989 12 8.761 -0.003 1 0 NaN NaN 8.173 -0.411 1990 1 5.866 -1.375 0 0 5.866 -1.375 5.766 -1.295 1990 2 8.542 -0.872 0 0 8.542 -0.872 8.924 -0.310 1990 3 13.844 0.592 0 0 13.844 0.592 13.798 0.725 1990 4 16.931 -1.801 0 0 16.931 -1.801 17.674 -0.880 1990 5 25.511 0.106 0 0 25.511 0.106 25.592 0.366 1990 6 31.659 0.590 0 0 31.659 0.590 31.146 0.257 1990 7 34.988 0.669 0 0 34.988 0.669 34.917 0.777 1990 8 35.621 1.842 1 0 NaN NaN 33.262 -0.337 1990 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 29.376 0.092 1990 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.092 0.679 1990 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.527 2.039 1990 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.816 1.231 1991 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.421 0.360 1991 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.729 -0.505 1991 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.026 0.953 1991 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.067 1.513 1991 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.060 -1.167 1991 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 31.798 0.909 1991 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 34.088 -0.052 1991 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 33.851 0.252
