% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 16 % Primary Name: AWS: ROSS ICE SHELF (8923) % Record Type: TAVG % Country: [Missing] % Latitude: -78.20000 +/- 0.05000 % Longitude: -172.50000 +/- 0.05000 % Elevation (m): 42.00 +/- 0.50 % # of Months: 11 % % IDs: wmssc - 899023 % % Sources: World Monthly Surface Station Climatology % % Site Hash: 97e3142d0e5596c42395fd046ee2a740 % Raw Data Hash: 8e71aebe0eaafdc68ecbcf9acdd7f165 % Adj Data Hash: 8e71aebe0eaafdc68ecbcf9acdd7f165 % % 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 1983 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -14.694 -2.219 1983 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -22.824 0.925 1983 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -25.735 5.498 1983 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -29.577 5.525 1983 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -38.404 -3.422 1983 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -40.062 -2.281 1983 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -40.899 -0.594 1983 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -36.281 0.271 1983 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -26.757 -0.387 1983 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -13.353 -0.288 1983 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -6.035 -0.253 1984 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -6.446 -0.491 1984 2 -15.900 -2.846 0 0 -15.900 -2.846 -13.048 -0.573 1984 3 -22.000 2.327 0 0 -22.000 2.327 -21.274 2.475 1984 4 -26.700 5.112 0 0 -26.700 5.112 -26.763 4.470 1984 5 -30.500 5.180 0 0 -30.500 5.180 -31.985 3.116 1984 6 -29.500 6.060 0 0 -29.500 6.060 -31.618 3.364 1984 7 -42.400 -4.040 0 0 -42.400 -4.040 -40.362 -2.581 1984 8 -44.600 -3.717 0 0 -44.600 -3.717 -42.707 -2.402 1984 9 -38.900 -1.769 0 0 -38.900 -1.769 -37.969 -1.418 1984 10 -18.300 8.649 0 0 -18.300 8.649 -21.247 5.123 1984 11 -14.900 -1.256 0 0 -14.900 -1.256 -12.719 0.346 1984 12 -7.000 -0.639 0 0 -7.000 -0.639 -4.641 1.141 1985 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -4.829 1.126 1985 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -13.343 -0.867 1985 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -22.151 1.598 1985 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -32.955 -1.722 1985 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -34.306 0.796 1985 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -36.103 -1.121 1985 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -45.033 -7.252 1985 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -40.916 -0.611 1985 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -37.003 -0.451 1985 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -26.717 -0.347 1985 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -13.534 -0.469 1985 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -6.340 -0.558
