% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 22769 % Primary Name: TZANEEN % Record Type: TAVG % Country: South Africa % Latitude: -23.81700 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: 30.31700 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 583.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 42 % % IDs: gsod - 681863-99999 % icao - FATZ % usaf - 681863 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: 172a711b1f49137790481ad141403092 % Raw Data Hash: 906f83ef74adc355ffbdd3b7b9806880 % Adj Data Hash: 461199fc41e927b83626a88b06471e89 % % 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 2009 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.762 1.593 2009 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.508 -0.581 2009 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.816 0.503 2009 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.309 1.186 2009 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.833 0.665 2009 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.604 -0.748 2009 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.882 0.695 2010 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.814 0.130 2010 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.186 0.866 2010 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.076 0.883 2010 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.204 0.277 2010 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.664 1.595 2010 6 14.090 1.454 1 0 NaN NaN 15.259 0.090 2010 7 14.200 1.643 0 0 14.200 1.643 15.704 0.615 2010 8 15.407 0.626 0 0 15.407 0.626 17.251 -0.062 2010 9 17.352 -0.239 0 0 17.352 -0.239 21.211 1.088 2010 10 20.559 0.924 0 0 20.559 0.924 23.634 1.467 2010 11 20.402 -0.418 0 0 20.402 -0.418 23.366 0.014 2010 12 22.116 0.462 0 0 22.116 0.462 24.435 0.248 2011 1 21.901 -0.250 0 0 21.901 -0.250 24.127 -0.557 2011 2 21.212 -0.575 0 0 21.212 -0.575 23.853 -0.467 2011 3 22.005 1.345 0 0 22.005 1.345 25.061 1.868 2011 4 18.554 0.159 0 0 18.554 0.159 21.016 0.089 2011 5 17.070 1.534 0 0 17.070 1.534 19.461 1.392 2011 6 14.282 1.645 1 0 NaN NaN 15.664 0.495 2011 7 11.719 -0.838 0 0 11.719 -0.838 14.622 -0.467 2011 8 13.609 -1.172 1 0 NaN NaN 16.608 -0.706 2011 9 18.522 0.932 0 0 18.522 0.932 21.029 0.906 2011 10 19.645 0.010 0 0 19.645 0.010 22.482 0.315 2011 11 19.327 -1.493 1 0 NaN NaN 24.147 0.794 2011 12 21.412 -0.242 0 0 21.412 -0.242 23.775 -0.412 2012 1 22.543 0.392 0 0 22.543 0.392 24.840 0.156 2012 2 23.255 1.468 0 0 23.255 1.468 25.530 1.211 2012 3 22.216 1.555 1 0 NaN NaN 24.594 1.400 2012 4 17.861 -0.533 0 0 17.861 -0.533 20.347 -0.580 2012 5 16.405 0.869 0 0 16.405 0.869 19.432 1.363 2012 6 14.468 1.831 1 0 NaN NaN 16.440 1.271 2012 7 14.246 1.689 0 0 14.246 1.689 16.325 1.236 2012 8 16.781 2.000 0 0 16.781 2.000 19.153 1.840 2012 9 17.559 -0.031 0 0 17.559 -0.031 20.337 0.214 2012 10 19.444 -0.191 0 0 19.444 -0.191 22.194 0.027 2012 11 20.631 -0.189 0 0 20.631 -0.189 23.403 0.050 2012 12 21.579 -0.076 0 0 21.579 -0.076 24.516 0.328 2013 1 21.972 -0.179 0 0 21.972 -0.179 24.242 -0.441 2013 2 20.891 -0.896 1 0 NaN NaN 24.352 0.032 2013 3 20.318 -0.343 1 0 NaN NaN 22.960 -0.233 2013 4 17.454 -0.941 0 0 17.454 -0.941 20.011 -0.915 2013 5 15.687 0.150 0 0 15.687 0.150 18.213 0.145 2013 6 14.580 1.943 0 0 14.580 1.943 16.731 1.562 2013 7 14.541 1.984 0 0 14.541 1.984 16.561 1.471 2013 8 16.094 1.313 0 0 16.094 1.313 18.424 1.110 2013 9 19.463 1.872 0 0 19.463 1.872 21.663 1.540 2013 10 18.881 -0.754 0 0 18.881 -0.754 21.674 -0.494 2013 11 21.363 0.543 1 0 NaN NaN NaN NaN
