% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 172549 % Primary Name: LOUISIANA RGNL % Record Type: TAVG % Country: United States % State: LA % Latitude: 30.17300 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: -90.94100 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 5.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 16 % % IDs: gsod - 721046-99999 % icao - KL38 % usaf - 721046 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: 91f4b0391fc4a0bc5df12f1bfb6bf3bf % Raw Data Hash: ded3a302f9dc44d5c877d3a923a724af % Adj Data Hash: 733b4fb201be21934707b15c50390963 % % 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 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 30.010 2.324 2011 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.726 -0.214 2011 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.723 -0.904 2011 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.106 1.294 2011 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.610 0.968 2012 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.531 3.001 2012 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.011 2.027 2012 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.900 4.304 2012 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.191 1.658 2012 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.654 1.573 2012 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.954 0.981 2012 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 28.237 0.342 2012 8 25.701 -0.990 1 0 NaN NaN 27.867 0.181 2012 9 25.269 0.322 0 0 25.269 0.322 26.843 0.902 2012 10 19.561 -0.072 0 0 19.561 -0.072 20.543 -0.084 2012 11 14.335 -0.483 0 0 14.335 -0.483 15.419 -0.393 2012 12 14.125 2.478 0 0 14.125 2.478 14.885 2.243 2013 1 12.864 2.328 0 0 12.864 2.328 13.204 1.674 2013 2 13.829 1.840 0 0 13.829 1.840 13.888 0.905 2013 3 14.143 -1.458 0 0 14.143 -1.458 14.742 -1.854 2013 4 19.178 -0.362 0 0 19.178 -0.362 20.044 -0.490 2013 5 22.238 -0.849 0 0 22.238 -0.849 23.080 -1.001 2013 6 27.377 1.397 0 0 27.377 1.397 28.557 1.583 2013 7 26.758 -0.142 0 0 26.758 -0.142 27.915 0.020 2013 8 26.649 -0.043 0 0 26.649 -0.043 27.978 0.292 2013 9 25.813 0.867 0 0 25.813 0.867 27.799 1.859 2013 10 20.837 1.204 0 0 20.837 1.204 21.998 1.371 2013 11 17.767 2.949 1 0 NaN NaN NaN NaN
