% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 173834 % Primary Name: SUWAIQ % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Oman % Latitude: 23.82440 +/- 0.00014 % Longitude: 57.27778 +/- 0.00014 % Elevation (m): 39.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 10 % % IDs: gsod - 412720-99999 % usaf - 412720 % wmo - 41272 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % World Meteorological Organization Metadata % % Site Hash: c201f3e68e19068c65531f37f028cbf0 % Raw Data Hash: be12bc01eb369a8bf9a2d256ab8cb987 % Adj Data Hash: f0b6b5622995d43fefb499a304f643aa % % 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 2012 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.215 1.083 2012 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.555 0.449 2012 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.857 1.086 2012 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 28.456 0.935 2012 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 34.252 2.317 2012 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 35.518 1.284 2012 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 36.711 2.255 2012 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 34.984 1.673 2012 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 33.582 2.315 2012 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 29.280 1.524 2012 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.798 1.709 2012 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.017 1.850 2013 1 20.315 3.239 0 0 20.315 3.239 19.291 1.159 2013 2 21.397 2.346 0 0 21.397 2.346 21.406 1.300 2013 3 24.323 1.607 0 0 24.323 1.607 24.963 1.192 2013 4 27.901 1.436 1 0 NaN NaN 27.621 0.100 2013 5 32.220 1.342 0 0 32.220 1.342 32.098 0.164 2013 6 33.128 -0.051 0 0 33.128 -0.051 34.496 0.262 2013 7 31.853 -1.547 0 0 31.853 -1.547 35.560 1.104 2013 8 31.376 -0.879 0 0 31.376 -0.879 33.992 0.680 2013 9 31.242 1.030 0 0 31.242 1.030 32.494 1.226 2013 10 31.712 5.012 1 0 NaN NaN 29.535 1.780
