% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 17240 % Primary Name: BAN DON TALAT % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Laos % Latitude: 14.78300 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: 105.78300 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 84.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 8 % % IDs: gsod - 489559-99999 % usaf - 489559 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: ca4e0964d6f74cea347db850e544df4f % Raw Data Hash: 4ee709ef1a24565f38596d57154ea3fe % Adj Data Hash: eae8d74b1d68449ec85862e923222c5c % % 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 1972 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.863 -1.296 1972 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.182 0.043 1972 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.249 -1.296 1972 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 28.389 -1.054 1972 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 29.806 0.992 1972 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.321 -0.388 1972 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.947 -0.216 1972 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.523 -0.397 1972 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.799 0.048 1972 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.168 0.939 1972 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.719 1.445 1972 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.973 0.955 1973 1 27.518 2.265 0 0 27.518 2.265 25.126 0.967 1973 2 28.315 1.082 1 0 NaN NaN 28.131 1.991 1973 3 29.758 0.119 0 0 29.758 0.119 29.840 1.295 1973 4 30.904 0.367 1 0 NaN NaN 31.409 1.966 1973 5 30.111 0.204 0 0 30.111 0.204 29.070 0.256 1973 6 29.024 0.221 0 0 29.024 0.221 28.154 0.445 1973 7 28.509 0.253 0 0 28.509 0.253 27.261 0.098 1973 8 28.086 0.071 1 0 NaN NaN 26.767 -0.153 1973 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.964 0.213 1973 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.749 -0.479 1973 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.408 -0.866 1973 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.543 -1.475 1974 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.715 -0.444 1974 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.100 -1.040 1974 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.435 -1.110 1974 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 28.903 -0.540 1974 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 28.764 -0.049 1974 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.430 -0.279 1974 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.292 0.130 1974 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.525 -0.395
