% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 17278 % Primary Name: XIENG LOM % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Laos % Latitude: 19.65000 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: 100.81700 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 579.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 8 % % IDs: gsod - 489245-99999 % icao - VLXL % usaf - 489245 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: bf8c6914c1ae857a1235a7ee8fe0e166 % Raw Data Hash: 665b0f3bab6e197b48894c498a488ad1 % Adj Data Hash: daf2ac9056adbee8b3f1933ac8e0761f % % 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 18.983 -0.888 1972 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.844 -0.113 1972 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.175 -0.665 1972 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.184 -0.962 1972 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 28.011 0.261 1972 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.235 0.048 1972 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.561 -0.044 1972 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.791 -0.525 1972 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.587 0.270 1972 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.733 0.730 1972 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.864 1.193 1972 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.364 0.485 1973 1 21.627 0.814 0 0 21.627 0.814 20.408 0.537 1973 2 21.995 -0.904 1 0 NaN NaN 23.168 1.212 1973 3 24.536 -1.246 0 0 24.536 -1.246 25.240 0.400 1973 4 28.336 0.247 1 0 NaN NaN 28.295 1.149 1973 5 29.339 0.647 0 0 29.339 0.647 27.277 -0.473 1973 6 28.864 0.734 1 0 NaN NaN 27.083 -0.104 1973 7 27.385 -0.162 0 0 27.385 -0.162 26.193 -0.412 1973 8 26.682 -0.576 1 0 NaN NaN 25.807 -0.509 1973 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.975 -0.342 1973 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.037 0.034 1973 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.772 -0.898 1973 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.952 -1.926 1974 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.236 -1.635 1974 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.955 -1.002 1974 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.290 -0.550 1974 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.356 -0.790 1974 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.857 -0.892 1974 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.591 -0.596 1974 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.406 -0.198 1974 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.308 -0.009
