% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 158974 % Primary Name: PLETTENBERG BAY % Record Type: TAVG % Country: South Africa % Latitude: -34.08826 +/- 0.00576 % Longitude: 23.32276 +/- 0.00626 % Elevation (m): 138.22 +/- 1.28 % # of Months: 38 % % IDs: gsod - 689310-99999 % icao - FAPG % usaf - 689310 % wmo - 68931 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % World Meteorological Organization Metadata % % Site Hash: 2b097ffc6f3743c57ce5ca4e3d5c12e8 % Raw Data Hash: 4c9bbef5f80ae84ba47b38eee389192a % Adj Data Hash: ca7962ead930d2373d77e37f6f38bb0d % % 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 1997 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.919 -0.663 1997 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.391 0.213 1997 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.108 -0.548 1997 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.429 0.453 1997 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.227 0.868 1997 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.385 1.037 1997 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.239 1.713 1997 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.104 0.379 1997 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.240 0.304 1998 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.573 -0.296 1998 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.619 0.638 1998 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.143 0.465 1998 4 19.831 1.986 1 0 NaN NaN 17.805 1.222 1998 5 16.878 -0.562 0 0 16.878 -0.562 16.799 0.620 1998 6 14.648 -2.270 0 0 14.648 -2.270 15.590 -0.066 1998 7 14.418 -1.820 0 0 14.418 -1.820 15.180 0.204 1998 8 14.633 -0.988 0 0 14.633 -0.988 14.763 0.403 1998 9 14.893 -0.718 0 0 14.893 -0.718 14.305 -0.043 1998 10 16.952 1.164 0 0 16.952 1.164 15.539 1.014 1998 11 17.848 0.862 0 0 17.848 0.862 16.316 0.591 1998 12 19.385 1.187 0 0 19.385 1.187 17.361 0.425 1999 1 21.543 2.412 0 0 21.543 2.412 19.046 1.177 1999 2 20.786 1.543 0 0 20.786 1.543 18.609 0.627 1999 3 21.061 2.120 0 0 21.061 2.120 19.327 1.649 1999 4 18.067 0.222 0 0 18.067 0.222 17.060 0.477 1999 5 17.156 -0.285 0 0 17.156 -0.285 16.921 0.742 1999 6 17.241 0.322 0 0 17.241 0.322 17.418 1.761 1999 7 15.891 -0.347 0 0 15.891 -0.347 16.469 1.493 1999 8 16.254 0.633 0 0 16.254 0.633 16.112 1.752 1999 9 14.632 -0.979 0 0 14.632 -0.979 14.209 -0.140 1999 10 17.897 2.110 0 0 17.897 2.110 16.058 1.532 1999 11 18.600 1.613 0 0 18.600 1.613 17.011 1.287 1999 12 21.063 2.865 0 0 21.063 2.865 19.378 2.442 2000 1 20.280 1.148 0 0 20.280 1.148 17.726 -0.143 2000 2 21.195 1.952 0 0 21.195 1.952 19.192 1.211 2000 3 19.154 0.214 0 0 19.154 0.214 17.772 0.093 2000 4 18.407 0.563 0 0 18.407 0.563 16.657 0.074 2000 5 16.692 -0.748 0 0 16.692 -0.748 15.721 -0.457 2000 6 18.095 1.177 0 0 18.095 1.177 16.837 1.180 2000 7 16.174 -0.064 0 0 16.174 -0.064 15.684 0.708 2000 8 16.781 1.160 0 0 16.781 1.160 16.133 1.773 2000 9 16.031 0.421 0 0 16.031 0.421 14.813 0.464 2000 10 17.435 1.648 0 0 17.435 1.648 15.293 0.768 2000 11 19.123 2.136 0 0 19.123 2.136 16.858 1.133 2000 12 20.381 2.184 0 0 20.381 2.184 17.646 0.710 2001 1 20.651 1.519 0 0 20.651 1.519 17.612 -0.257 2001 2 21.208 1.965 0 0 21.208 1.965 18.246 0.264 2001 3 19.956 1.015 0 0 19.956 1.015 18.073 0.394 2001 4 18.287 0.442 0 0 18.287 0.442 16.536 -0.047 2001 5 17.739 0.299 1 0 NaN NaN 17.852 1.674 2001 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.411 0.755 2001 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.743 0.767 2001 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.102 0.742 2001 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.177 0.828 2001 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.459 1.934 2001 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.759 1.035 2001 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.126 1.190 2002 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.245 0.375 2002 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.212 0.231 2002 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.064 1.385 2002 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.541 0.959 2002 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.298 0.119
