% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 229 % Primary Name: SHUWAIKH/KUWAIT/CLIMAT O % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Kuwait % Latitude: 29.30000 +/- 0.05000 % Longitude: 48.00000 +/- 0.05000 % Elevation (m): 11.00 +/- 0.50 % # of Months: 60 % % IDs: wmssc - 403710 % % Sources: World Monthly Surface Station Climatology % % Site Hash: f22c56eb31b33ae31ab327bc1552c320 % Raw Data Hash: f322d0543eb774c8a7912deb0f39afc4 % Adj Data Hash: 1e64b43ddaca4b4c2ccb50aa4d335459 % % 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 1955 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.479 0.250 1955 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.090 1.666 1955 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.517 1.004 1955 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.952 0.466 1955 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 29.445 -0.763 1955 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 34.272 0.051 1955 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 35.408 -0.354 1955 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 35.136 -0.245 1955 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 32.022 -0.429 1955 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.891 -1.218 1955 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.301 1.844 1955 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.844 0.209 1956 1 11.700 -1.979 0 0 11.700 -1.979 13.082 -0.146 1956 2 15.000 -0.875 0 0 15.000 -0.875 16.616 1.191 1956 3 17.800 -2.164 0 0 17.800 -2.164 18.968 -0.546 1956 4 24.400 -0.537 0 0 24.400 -0.537 23.953 -0.533 1956 5 29.200 -1.459 0 0 29.200 -1.459 28.664 -1.545 1956 6 33.900 -0.772 0 0 33.900 -0.772 33.559 -0.662 1956 7 36.100 -0.112 0 0 36.100 -0.112 35.303 -0.458 1956 8 36.400 0.568 0 0 36.400 0.568 35.577 0.196 1956 9 32.800 -0.101 0 0 32.800 -0.101 32.034 -0.416 1956 10 26.400 -1.160 0 0 26.400 -1.160 26.070 -1.040 1956 11 19.200 -1.708 0 0 19.200 -1.708 19.315 -1.142 1956 12 13.100 -1.985 0 0 13.100 -1.985 12.777 -1.858 1957 1 11.700 -1.979 0 0 11.700 -1.979 11.709 -1.520 1957 2 14.700 -1.175 0 0 14.700 -1.175 14.905 -0.519 1957 3 20.000 0.036 0 0 20.000 0.036 19.872 0.359 1957 4 23.300 -1.637 0 0 23.300 -1.637 22.681 -1.805 1957 5 28.900 -1.759 0 0 28.900 -1.759 27.837 -2.372 1957 6 34.200 -0.472 0 0 34.200 -0.472 33.327 -0.894 1957 7 36.700 0.488 0 0 36.700 0.488 35.578 -0.183 1957 8 36.100 0.268 0 0 36.100 0.268 35.490 0.109 1957 9 33.300 0.399 0 0 33.300 0.399 32.621 0.171 1957 10 28.600 1.040 0 0 28.600 1.040 27.775 0.666 1957 11 20.600 -0.308 0 0 20.600 -0.308 20.386 -0.071 1957 12 15.000 -0.085 0 0 15.000 -0.085 13.890 -0.744 1958 1 13.600 -0.079 0 0 13.600 -0.079 13.566 0.337 1958 2 14.400 -1.475 0 0 14.400 -1.475 14.701 -0.723 1958 3 21.900 1.936 0 0 21.900 1.936 21.497 1.984 1958 4 26.900 1.963 0 0 26.900 1.963 26.064 1.578 1958 5 32.200 1.541 0 0 32.200 1.541 31.236 1.028 1958 6 34.700 0.028 0 0 34.700 0.028 33.607 -0.614 1958 7 36.700 0.488 0 0 36.700 0.488 35.464 -0.297 1958 8 36.700 0.868 1 0 NaN NaN 35.536 0.155 1958 9 32.500 -0.401 0 0 32.500 -0.401 31.466 -0.984 1958 10 27.500 -0.060 0 0 27.500 -0.060 26.911 -0.198 1958 11 19.200 -1.708 0 0 19.200 -1.708 19.038 -1.419 1958 12 15.300 0.215 0 0 15.300 0.215 14.883 0.249 1959 1 13.600 -0.079 0 0 13.600 -0.079 13.484 0.255 1959 2 12.200 -3.675 0 0 12.200 -3.675 12.051 -3.373 1959 3 18.900 -1.064 0 0 18.900 -1.064 18.749 -0.764 1959 4 26.900 1.963 0 0 26.900 1.963 26.065 1.579 1959 5 30.800 0.141 0 0 30.800 0.141 29.610 -0.598 1959 6 35.000 0.328 0 0 35.000 0.328 34.267 0.046 1959 7 35.600 -0.612 0 0 35.600 -0.612 34.992 -0.769 1959 8 35.300 -0.532 0 0 35.300 -0.532 34.796 -0.585 1959 9 31.700 -1.201 0 0 31.700 -1.201 30.795 -1.655 1959 10 28.100 0.540 0 0 28.100 0.540 27.275 0.166 1959 11 20.000 -0.908 0 0 20.000 -0.908 19.569 -0.888 1959 12 13.900 -1.185 0 0 13.900 -1.185 13.165 -1.470 1960 1 15.000 1.321 0 0 15.000 1.321 15.048 1.820 1960 2 17.800 1.925 0 0 17.800 1.925 17.931 2.507 1960 3 19.200 -0.764 0 0 19.200 -0.764 18.957 -0.556 1960 4 25.000 0.063 0 0 25.000 0.063 24.796 0.309 1960 5 31.700 1.041 0 0 31.700 1.041 30.766 0.557 1960 6 35.300 0.628 0 0 35.300 0.628 34.354 0.134 1960 7 36.900 0.688 0 0 36.900 0.688 35.907 0.146 1960 8 36.400 0.568 0 0 36.400 0.568 35.582 0.201 1960 9 33.900 0.999 0 0 33.900 0.999 33.028 0.578 1960 10 25.800 -1.760 0 0 25.800 -1.760 25.387 -1.722 1960 11 21.700 0.792 0 0 21.700 0.792 21.293 0.836 1960 12 15.300 0.215 0 0 15.300 0.215 15.114 0.480 1961 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.918 0.690 1961 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.905 0.481 1961 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.532 -0.981 1961 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.439 -1.047 1961 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 30.237 0.029 1961 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 34.261 0.040 1961 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 35.407 -0.354 1961 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 36.084 0.703 1961 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 30.148 -2.303 1961 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.037 -1.072 1961 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.742 -0.716 1961 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.510 0.875
