% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 168815 % Primary Name: KOTKA KIRKONMAA % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Finland % Latitude: 60.38300 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: 27.05000 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 28.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 15 % % IDs: gsod - 029680-99999 % usaf - 29680 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: bc2c91c542390e86096186e2f6dedcb0 % Raw Data Hash: 2f5a627dc54e412e48c3c9ad605cd50b % Adj Data Hash: 96990e1f5394c1bb4e789e36e01b425e % % 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 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.811 2.333 2011 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.541 3.602 2011 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.825 1.451 2011 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.783 2.023 2011 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.305 2.550 2011 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.560 4.390 2011 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 3.116 6.163 2012 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -3.950 2.405 2012 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -8.924 -1.433 2012 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -0.679 3.500 2012 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2.845 1.396 2012 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.860 2.078 2012 6 13.022 -0.410 1 0 NaN NaN 12.736 -0.741 2012 7 16.984 1.091 0 0 16.984 1.091 16.614 0.676 2012 8 15.393 0.064 0 0 15.393 0.064 15.355 -0.019 2012 9 12.439 1.724 0 0 12.439 1.724 11.867 1.106 2012 10 6.570 0.860 0 0 6.570 0.860 6.679 0.924 2012 11 3.819 2.695 0 0 3.819 2.695 4.259 3.089 2012 12 -5.548 -2.456 0 0 -5.548 -2.456 -5.473 -2.426 2013 1 -5.864 0.538 0 0 -5.864 0.538 -5.365 0.991 2013 2 -3.403 4.134 1 0 NaN NaN -3.361 4.129 2013 3 -6.819 -2.594 0 0 -6.819 -2.594 -7.003 -2.824 2013 4 1.717 0.314 0 0 1.717 0.314 1.926 0.477 2013 5 11.082 3.346 0 0 11.082 3.346 11.416 3.633 2013 6 16.734 3.302 0 0 16.734 3.302 16.734 3.256 2013 7 17.299 1.406 1 0 NaN NaN 16.786 0.847 2013 8 16.687 1.359 1 0 NaN NaN 16.793 1.418 2013 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.845 1.085 2013 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.374 1.619
