% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 161362 % Primary Name: MUSCLE SHOALS WATER PLANT % Record Type: TAVG % Country: United States % State: AL % Latitude: 34.75860 +/- 0.00005 % Longitude: -87.64110 +/- 0.00005 % Elevation (m): 164.59 +/- 0.15 % # of Months: 20 % % IDs: coop - 15751 % ghcnd - USC00015751 % ncdc - 30071741 % nws - MWPA1 % % Sources: Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily % Multi-network Metadata System % % Site Hash: 5f32cf12218636ceb15a4708fc0d3011 % Raw Data Hash: 27dc367928ab539462dd5020ddfcf1a7 % Adj Data Hash: e4abac9df2dc4374314259d1212badb6 % % 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 2011 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2.270 -1.857 2011 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.533 1.406 2011 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.913 1.384 2011 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.093 2.044 2011 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.273 -0.096 2011 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.015 2.648 2011 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.984 1.785 2011 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.143 1.417 2011 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.628 -0.896 2011 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.785 -1.048 2011 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.134 2.088 2011 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.513 1.662 2012 1 8.487 4.575 1 0 NaN NaN 7.485 3.359 2012 2 7.915 2.002 1 0 NaN NaN 8.342 2.215 2012 3 16.803 6.489 0 0 16.803 6.489 16.932 6.403 2012 4 17.215 1.382 0 0 17.215 1.382 17.648 1.600 2012 5 22.456 2.302 0 0 22.456 2.302 22.468 2.099 2012 6 24.526 0.374 0 0 24.526 0.374 25.061 0.694 2012 7 27.974 1.990 0 0 27.974 1.990 28.004 1.805 2012 8 25.645 0.133 0 0 25.645 0.133 25.532 -0.194 2012 9 22.167 -0.142 0 0 22.167 -0.142 22.491 -0.032 2012 10 15.288 -0.331 0 0 15.288 -0.331 15.221 -0.613 2012 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.414 -0.632 2012 12 9.042 3.405 1 0 NaN NaN 9.201 3.350 2013 1 6.828 2.916 0 0 6.828 2.916 6.545 2.418 2013 2 6.334 0.421 1 0 NaN NaN 6.232 0.104 2013 3 7.603 -2.711 0 0 7.603 -2.711 7.819 -2.710 2013 4 15.093 -0.740 0 0 15.093 -0.740 15.839 -0.209 2013 5 19.479 -0.675 0 0 19.479 -0.675 19.568 -0.801 2013 6 24.990 0.838 0 0 24.990 0.838 25.322 0.955 2013 7 24.955 -1.030 0 0 24.955 -1.030 25.198 -1.001 2013 8 24.898 -0.613 0 0 24.898 -0.613 25.273 -0.454 2013 9 23.297 0.988 0 0 23.297 0.988 23.732 1.208 2013 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.891 1.057
