% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 22690 % Primary Name: SISHEN % Record Type: TAVG % Country: South Africa % Latitude: -27.65000 +/- 0.00500 % Longitude: 23.00000 +/- 0.00500 % Elevation (m): 1173.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 28 % % IDs: gsod - 683354-99999 % icao - FASS % usaf - 683354 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: 55f4509b4716c30a730bc9569ad62e08 % Raw Data Hash: 0a17fd33329f2b2069d5a923a3cf3029 % Adj Data Hash: a87bd212a8d3b2de5cdb0da522cec05b % % 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 1998 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.253 -0.229 1998 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.650 1.272 1998 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.569 1.365 1998 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.899 2.346 1998 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.334 0.201 1998 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.770 1.046 1998 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.974 1.280 1998 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.933 0.896 1998 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.912 1.161 1998 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.375 0.321 1998 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.850 -0.203 1998 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.322 0.518 1999 1 27.173 1.041 1 0 NaN NaN 26.615 1.134 1999 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.659 2.281 1999 3 23.050 0.196 1 0 NaN NaN 25.295 3.091 1999 4 21.576 3.373 0 0 21.576 3.373 19.995 2.441 1999 5 12.537 -1.245 0 0 12.537 -1.245 13.595 0.462 1999 6 16.532 6.158 1 0 NaN NaN 11.019 1.294 1999 7 13.327 2.983 0 0 13.327 2.983 12.387 2.692 1999 8 14.274 1.588 0 0 14.274 1.588 12.206 0.169 1999 9 15.800 -1.601 1 0 NaN NaN 16.321 -0.430 1999 10 21.891 1.188 0 0 21.891 1.188 21.284 1.231 1999 11 26.498 2.795 0 0 26.498 2.795 25.584 2.530 1999 12 16.914 -8.540 1 0 NaN NaN 24.243 -0.561 2000 1 22.221 -3.910 1 0 NaN NaN 22.854 -2.628 2000 2 25.653 0.625 0 0 25.653 0.625 24.504 0.125 2000 3 25.310 2.456 1 0 NaN NaN 23.010 0.806 2000 4 17.686 -0.518 0 0 17.686 -0.518 17.123 -0.430 2000 5 14.800 1.018 0 0 14.800 1.018 13.048 -0.085 2000 6 12.817 2.442 0 0 12.817 2.442 11.258 1.533 2000 7 11.332 0.988 0 0 11.332 0.988 10.361 0.667 2000 8 15.317 2.631 0 0 15.317 2.631 13.946 1.909 2000 9 16.094 -1.306 0 0 16.094 -1.306 15.399 -1.352 2000 10 22.570 1.867 0 0 22.570 1.867 21.731 1.677 2000 11 22.398 -1.305 0 0 22.398 -1.305 22.186 -0.867 2000 12 25.464 0.010 0 0 25.464 0.010 25.614 0.811 2001 1 25.509 -0.623 0 0 25.509 -0.623 25.609 0.128 2001 2 24.860 -0.169 0 0 24.860 -0.169 24.852 0.473 2001 3 22.958 0.104 0 0 22.958 0.104 23.814 1.610 2001 4 17.759 -0.444 0 0 17.759 -0.444 17.829 0.275 2001 5 12.586 -1.197 1 0 NaN NaN 14.086 0.953 2001 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.118 1.393 2001 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.469 -0.225 2001 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.376 -0.661 2001 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.063 -1.688 2001 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.755 1.702 2001 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.485 -0.569 2001 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.425 -0.379 2002 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.730 -0.752 2002 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.795 0.416 2002 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.064 0.860 2002 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.744 2.190 2002 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.063 -0.070
