% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 159186 % Primary Name: RATNAPURA % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Sri Lanka % Latitude: 6.68300 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: 80.40000 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 86.78 +/- 1.27 % # of Months: 78 % % IDs: gsod - 434860-99999 % usaf - 434860 % wmo - 43486 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % World Meteorological Organization Metadata % % Site Hash: 6ec147db844b860e1202e15c90f24c13 % Raw Data Hash: 4583ea83723c657df22522eaf040d3f8 % Adj Data Hash: 73b2b08596a5fdb1e4358b47049127dd % % 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 2006 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.926 0.543 2006 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.679 0.620 2006 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.556 0.354 2006 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.760 0.511 2006 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.195 0.498 2006 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.255 0.824 2006 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.601 0.601 2007 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.525 0.437 2007 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.369 0.404 2007 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.615 0.578 2007 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.198 -0.026 2007 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.839 0.803 2007 6 26.860 0.891 1 0 NaN NaN 26.960 0.577 2007 7 27.264 1.619 1 0 NaN NaN 26.473 0.414 2007 8 26.769 0.981 1 0 NaN NaN 26.785 0.583 2007 9 26.460 0.626 1 0 NaN NaN 26.684 0.434 2007 10 26.095 0.813 1 0 NaN NaN 25.975 0.278 2007 11 26.726 1.711 1 0 NaN NaN 26.109 0.678 2007 12 26.236 1.651 1 0 NaN NaN 25.404 0.404 2008 1 26.226 1.553 1 0 NaN NaN 25.504 0.416 2008 2 26.812 1.262 1 0 NaN NaN 26.413 0.447 2008 3 26.918 0.295 1 0 NaN NaN 26.625 -0.413 2008 4 26.392 -0.417 1 0 NaN NaN 26.827 -0.397 2008 5 27.115 0.494 1 0 NaN NaN 27.496 0.461 2008 6 26.449 0.480 1 0 NaN NaN 26.870 0.487 2008 7 26.233 0.588 1 0 NaN NaN 26.258 0.198 2008 8 26.439 0.651 1 0 NaN NaN 26.601 0.398 2008 9 26.892 1.057 1 0 NaN NaN 26.768 0.518 2008 10 26.377 1.095 1 0 NaN NaN 26.254 0.557 2008 11 26.506 1.491 1 0 NaN NaN 26.123 0.693 2008 12 26.747 2.162 1 0 NaN NaN 25.541 0.541 2009 1 27.080 2.407 1 0 NaN NaN 25.381 0.293 2009 2 27.516 1.965 1 0 NaN NaN 26.169 0.203 2009 3 27.174 0.551 1 0 NaN NaN 27.367 0.329 2009 4 27.333 0.524 0 0 27.333 0.524 27.406 0.182 2009 5 27.724 1.103 1 0 NaN NaN 27.731 0.695 2009 6 26.456 0.487 0 0 26.456 0.487 26.741 0.358 2009 7 26.804 1.159 0 0 26.804 1.159 26.674 0.615 2009 8 26.264 0.476 0 0 26.264 0.476 26.925 0.722 2009 9 26.365 0.530 0 0 26.365 0.530 27.134 0.885 2009 10 27.182 1.900 1 0 NaN NaN 26.663 0.966 2009 11 26.241 1.225 1 0 NaN NaN 26.217 0.787 2009 12 26.479 1.894 1 0 NaN NaN 26.021 1.021 2010 1 25.585 0.912 0 0 25.585 0.912 25.803 0.715 2010 2 27.653 2.103 1 0 NaN NaN 27.185 1.220 2010 3 28.013 1.391 0 0 28.013 1.391 28.299 1.262 2010 4 27.224 0.415 0 0 27.224 0.415 27.905 0.681 2010 5 27.190 0.569 0 0 27.190 0.569 27.747 0.712 2010 6 26.956 0.987 0 0 26.956 0.987 27.431 1.048 2010 7 26.439 0.794 0 0 26.439 0.794 26.697 0.638 2010 8 26.577 0.789 0 0 26.577 0.789 26.765 0.562 2010 9 26.293 0.458 0 0 26.293 0.458 26.846 0.597 2010 10 26.272 0.990 0 0 26.272 0.990 26.632 0.935 2010 11 25.365 0.349 0 0 25.365 0.349 26.026 0.595 2010 12 24.921 0.336 0 0 24.921 0.336 24.982 -0.018 2011 1 24.903 0.230 0 0 24.903 0.230 24.678 -0.410 2011 2 25.913 0.362 0 0 25.913 0.362 25.768 -0.197 2011 3 26.480 -0.143 0 0 26.480 -0.143 27.172 0.135 2011 4 26.093 -0.716 0 0 26.093 -0.716 26.932 -0.292 2011 5 27.369 0.748 0 0 27.369 0.748 27.960 0.924 2011 6 27.211 1.243 0 0 27.211 1.243 27.383 1.000 2011 7 26.711 1.067 0 0 26.711 1.067 27.098 1.038 2011 8 26.444 0.657 0 0 26.444 0.657 27.192 0.989 2011 9 26.346 0.512 0 0 26.346 0.512 27.188 0.939 2011 10 26.622 1.340 0 0 26.622 1.340 26.751 1.054 2011 11 26.115 1.099 0 0 26.115 1.099 26.347 0.917 2011 12 25.642 1.057 0 0 25.642 1.057 25.756 0.756 2012 1 26.477 1.804 0 0 26.477 1.804 25.751 0.663 2012 2 26.475 0.925 0 0 26.475 0.925 26.565 0.600 2012 3 27.131 0.508 0 0 27.131 0.508 27.713 0.676 2012 4 26.243 -0.566 0 0 26.243 -0.566 26.881 -0.342 2012 5 27.928 1.308 0 0 27.928 1.308 28.326 1.290 2012 6 27.007 1.039 0 0 27.007 1.039 27.538 1.154 2012 7 26.986 1.341 0 0 26.986 1.341 27.314 1.255 2012 8 26.394 0.606 0 0 26.394 0.606 27.255 1.052 2012 9 26.317 0.482 0 0 26.317 0.482 27.531 1.281 2012 10 26.038 0.755 0 0 26.038 0.755 26.383 0.686 2012 11 25.893 0.877 0 0 25.893 0.877 26.279 0.848 2012 12 25.762 1.177 0 0 25.762 1.177 25.847 0.847 2013 1 25.832 1.158 0 0 25.832 1.158 25.583 0.494 2013 2 26.478 0.928 0 0 26.478 0.928 26.366 0.401 2013 3 26.545 -0.078 0 0 26.545 -0.078 27.676 0.638 2013 4 27.515 0.706 0 0 27.515 0.706 28.244 1.021 2013 5 26.952 0.331 0 0 26.952 0.331 27.827 0.792 2013 6 25.950 -0.018 0 0 25.950 -0.018 26.591 0.208 2013 7 26.009 0.364 0 0 26.009 0.364 26.607 0.548 2013 8 26.548 0.760 0 0 26.548 0.760 27.002 0.799 2013 9 26.007 0.173 0 0 26.007 0.173 26.720 0.471 2013 10 25.944 0.662 0 0 25.944 0.662 26.841 1.144 2013 11 26.767 1.751 1 0 NaN NaN NaN NaN
