% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 22631 % Primary Name: VENTERSTAD % Record Type: TAVG % Country: South Africa % Latitude: -30.78300 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: 25.80000 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 1283.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 64 % % IDs: ghcnd - SF001734970 % gsod - 685450-99999 % usaf - 685450 % wmo - 68545 % % Sources: Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily % Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: b67476fd0497bde8a345ebaca78c65ba % Raw Data Hash: dfa2778289cf2a1a6e0745333794e276 % Adj Data Hash: 598d9e7572b0508d9b3d3a53486f34f8 % % 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 1997 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.591 -0.224 1997 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.092 -1.612 1997 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.554 -0.518 1997 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.810 -0.402 1997 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.208 -0.164 1997 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.384 1.044 1997 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.680 1.112 1997 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.247 1.387 1997 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.945 -0.381 1997 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.019 0.732 1998 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.820 -0.481 1998 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.381 0.662 1998 3 20.966 1.525 0 0 20.966 1.525 19.421 0.606 1998 4 17.271 1.940 0 0 17.271 1.940 16.237 1.532 1998 5 11.202 -0.497 0 0 11.202 -0.497 11.387 0.314 1998 6 5.524 -3.314 0 0 5.524 -3.314 8.311 0.099 1998 7 8.821 -0.176 1 0 NaN NaN 9.158 0.787 1998 8 10.341 -0.625 0 0 10.341 -0.625 10.651 0.311 1998 9 14.748 0.553 0 0 14.748 0.553 13.867 0.298 1998 10 18.344 1.858 0 0 18.344 1.858 16.700 0.841 1998 11 20.903 1.952 0 0 20.903 1.952 18.826 0.500 1998 12 22.452 1.538 1 0 NaN NaN 20.711 0.423 1999 1 25.000 3.073 1 0 NaN NaN 22.433 1.133 1999 2 24.407 3.062 0 0 24.407 3.062 22.157 1.438 1999 3 25.272 5.831 1 0 NaN NaN 21.209 2.394 1999 4 18.558 3.227 1 0 NaN NaN 16.373 1.668 1999 5 11.854 0.155 0 0 11.854 0.155 11.641 0.568 1999 6 8.230 -0.608 0 0 8.230 -0.608 9.137 0.925 1999 7 9.941 0.944 0 0 9.941 0.944 10.365 1.993 1999 8 10.522 -0.444 0 0 10.522 -0.444 11.114 0.774 1999 9 13.002 -1.192 0 0 13.002 -1.192 13.580 0.012 1999 10 18.746 2.260 0 0 18.746 2.260 16.777 0.917 1999 11 23.566 4.614 0 0 23.566 4.614 20.997 2.672 1999 12 23.586 2.673 0 0 23.586 2.673 21.894 1.607 2000 1 21.469 -0.458 0 0 21.469 -0.458 19.813 -1.488 2000 2 23.373 2.027 0 0 23.373 2.027 21.419 0.700 2000 3 21.613 2.172 0 0 21.613 2.172 19.933 1.118 2000 4 15.340 0.009 1 0 NaN NaN 14.149 -0.555 2000 5 9.544 -2.155 0 0 9.544 -2.155 9.970 -1.103 2000 6 8.925 0.087 0 0 8.925 0.087 9.135 0.923 2000 7 7.062 -1.935 0 0 7.062 -1.935 8.252 -0.120 2000 8 9.795 -1.172 0 0 9.795 -1.172 11.644 1.304 2000 9 12.506 -1.688 0 0 12.506 -1.688 12.645 -0.923 2000 10 18.706 2.220 1 0 NaN NaN 16.628 0.768 2000 11 17.350 -1.602 1 0 NaN NaN 17.982 -0.343 2000 12 23.607 2.693 1 0 NaN NaN 21.065 0.778 2001 1 23.866 1.939 1 0 NaN NaN 21.009 -0.292 2001 2 23.522 2.176 0 0 23.522 2.176 21.045 0.326 2001 3 23.273 3.832 0 0 23.273 3.832 21.072 2.257 2001 4 16.570 1.239 0 0 16.570 1.239 15.059 0.354 2001 5 12.260 0.561 1 0 NaN NaN 12.339 1.267 2001 6 9.172 0.335 0 0 9.172 0.335 9.482 1.271 2001 7 7.602 -1.396 0 0 7.602 -1.396 7.970 -0.401 2001 8 9.838 -1.128 0 0 9.838 -1.128 10.513 0.173 2001 9 12.700 -1.494 0 0 12.700 -1.494 13.119 -0.449 2001 10 20.373 3.887 0 0 20.373 3.887 17.962 2.103 2001 11 20.054 1.103 0 0 20.054 1.103 18.805 0.480 2001 12 21.306 0.392 0 0 21.306 0.392 20.326 0.038 2002 1 22.707 0.780 1 0 NaN NaN 21.130 -0.171 2002 2 21.913 0.567 0 0 21.913 0.567 20.746 0.026 2002 3 20.576 1.135 0 0 20.576 1.135 20.412 1.597 2002 4 18.054 2.723 0 0 18.054 2.723 16.930 2.225 2002 5 11.506 -0.193 0 0 11.506 -0.193 11.506 0.433 2002 6 7.055 -1.783 1 0 NaN NaN 7.576 -0.636 2002 7 6.915 -2.083 0 0 6.915 -2.083 8.092 -0.279 2002 8 11.552 0.586 0 0 11.552 0.586 11.184 0.844 2002 9 14.332 0.138 0 0 14.332 0.138 14.231 0.663 2002 10 19.280 2.794 0 0 19.280 2.794 17.721 1.861 2002 11 19.542 0.590 0 0 19.542 0.590 18.261 -0.065 2002 12 22.742 1.828 0 0 22.742 1.828 21.452 1.165 2003 1 24.492 2.565 0 0 24.492 2.565 22.568 1.267 2003 2 24.062 2.716 0 0 24.062 2.716 22.962 2.243 2003 3 20.279 0.837 0 0 20.279 0.837 19.963 1.148 2003 4 17.683 2.352 0 0 17.683 2.352 16.839 2.135 2003 5 10.550 -1.149 1 0 NaN NaN 11.356 0.283 2003 6 8.800 -0.038 1 0 NaN NaN 7.465 -0.747 2003 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.523 0.151 2003 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.201 -1.139 2003 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.829 0.261 2003 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.220 1.360 2003 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.707 1.382 2003 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.745 0.458 2004 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.450 0.149 2004 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.535 0.816 2004 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.711 -0.104 2004 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.522 0.817 2004 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.631 1.558 2004 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.301 1.089
