% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 170139 % Primary Name: WATERTOWN 2 S % Record Type: TAVG % Country: United States % State: SD % Latitude: 44.86970 +/- 0.00005 % Longitude: -97.11560 +/- 0.00005 % Elevation (m): 540.11 +/- 0.15 % # of Months: 18 % % Alternate Names: WATERTOWN 2S % % IDs: coop - 398931 % ghcnd - USC00398931 % ncdc - 30015752 % nws - WATS2 % % Sources: Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily % Multi-network Metadata System % % Site Hash: ebc411b9d32383a5dfee173e9f01fea9 % Raw Data Hash: afacc54817b83e2a168275cc3ba8c5af % Adj Data Hash: 84b972fd82faeeb2b047708461f10cfa % % 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 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 6.556 -0.486 2011 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.398 -0.860 2011 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.541 -0.144 2011 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.290 2.898 2011 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.778 0.543 2011 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.113 -0.609 2011 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.216 2.879 2011 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2.237 2.097 2011 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -3.051 4.578 2012 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.984 5.860 2012 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -3.424 4.770 2012 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.151 9.164 2012 4 9.093 3.037 0 0 9.093 3.037 10.165 3.123 2012 5 15.129 1.856 0 0 15.129 1.856 16.743 2.485 2012 6 20.335 1.636 0 0 20.335 1.636 21.797 2.111 2012 7 24.868 3.462 0 0 24.868 3.462 26.064 3.672 2012 8 20.516 0.267 0 0 20.516 0.267 21.386 0.151 2012 9 15.642 0.906 0 0 15.642 0.906 16.020 0.298 2012 10 7.189 -1.162 0 0 7.189 -1.162 8.354 -0.984 2012 11 0.840 1.686 0 0 0.840 1.686 1.976 1.836 2012 12 -7.284 1.330 0 0 -7.284 1.330 -6.403 1.225 2013 1 -9.113 3.716 0 0 -9.113 3.716 -9.515 2.329 2013 2 -8.789 0.391 1 0 NaN NaN -7.764 0.430 2013 3 -5.823 -2.824 0 0 -5.823 -2.824 -4.787 -2.774 2013 4 1.143 -4.913 0 0 1.143 -4.913 2.701 -4.341 2013 5 12.669 -0.603 0 0 12.669 -0.603 13.359 -0.900 2013 6 17.932 -0.768 0 0 17.932 -0.768 19.562 -0.123 2013 7 21.168 -0.238 0 0 21.168 -0.238 22.601 0.209 2013 8 20.945 0.696 0 0 20.945 0.696 21.991 0.756 2013 9 18.557 3.821 0 0 18.557 3.821 18.556 2.834 2013 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.124 -0.213
