% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 24788 % Primary Name: CHANNEL (LGT-VSL) % Record Type: TAVG % Country: United Kingdom % Latitude: 49.90000 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: -2.91700 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 89.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 29 % % IDs: gsod - 038900-99999 % usaf - 38900 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: 10bf23f23d4cebcf812729d90b397977 % Raw Data Hash: 8ce46ed146f2aef4b96f2842bbdfc410 % Adj Data Hash: 2c75d4d0897757cfaf8dde80af9945c7 % % 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 1978 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.740 -0.499 1978 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.167 0.794 1978 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.167 -1.480 1978 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.369 0.158 1978 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.764 -0.955 1978 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.407 -1.304 1978 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.349 -0.963 1978 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.367 0.049 1978 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.179 1.189 1978 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.242 1.214 1978 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.721 0.511 1979 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 3.707 -2.922 1979 2 8.269 2.134 1 0 NaN NaN 5.035 -1.205 1979 3 9.000 1.732 1 0 NaN NaN 6.926 -0.446 1979 4 8.382 -0.160 1 0 NaN NaN 7.982 -0.665 1979 5 10.073 -1.034 1 0 NaN NaN 9.832 -1.379 1979 6 9.111 -4.504 1 0 NaN NaN 12.915 -0.804 1979 7 14.361 -1.246 1 0 NaN NaN 15.646 -0.066 1979 8 14.531 -1.676 1 0 NaN NaN 15.350 -0.962 1979 9 15.037 -0.176 1 0 NaN NaN 15.083 -0.234 1979 10 15.000 2.114 1 0 NaN NaN 14.057 1.067 1979 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.464 0.436 1979 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.960 1.750 1980 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.235 -1.394 1980 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.940 1.701 1980 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 6.913 -0.460 1980 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.838 0.192 1980 5 11.741 0.634 1 0 NaN NaN 10.858 -0.353 1980 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.105 -0.614 1980 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.544 -1.168 1980 8 16.278 0.071 1 0 NaN NaN 16.567 0.255 1980 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.912 0.594 1980 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.328 -0.662 1980 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.742 -1.286 1980 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.688 0.478 1981 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.821 1.192 1981 2 6.500 0.365 1 0 NaN NaN 5.082 -1.158 1981 3 8.930 1.662 1 0 NaN NaN 9.502 2.129 1981 4 8.856 0.314 0 0 8.856 0.314 8.569 -0.078 1981 5 10.462 -0.644 0 0 10.462 -0.644 10.726 -0.485 1981 6 12.500 -1.115 0 0 12.500 -1.115 12.950 -0.770 1981 7 14.784 -0.823 1 0 NaN NaN 15.183 -0.529 1981 8 15.882 -0.325 0 0 15.882 -0.325 17.015 0.703 1981 9 15.528 0.315 0 0 15.528 0.315 16.190 0.873 1981 10 11.858 -1.027 0 0 11.858 -1.027 12.242 -0.748 1981 11 11.024 1.101 0 0 11.024 1.101 10.881 0.853 1981 12 7.484 -0.621 0 0 7.484 -0.621 7.844 -0.366 1982 1 8.226 1.701 0 0 8.226 1.701 7.538 0.909 1982 2 8.137 2.002 1 0 NaN NaN 7.140 0.901 1982 3 8.468 1.200 0 0 8.468 1.200 7.773 0.400 1982 4 9.693 1.151 0 0 9.693 1.151 8.980 0.334 1982 5 11.167 0.060 0 0 11.167 0.060 11.694 0.483 1982 6 11.385 -2.230 1 0 NaN NaN 14.786 1.067 1982 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.529 0.817 1982 8 16.500 0.293 1 0 NaN NaN 16.177 -0.135 1982 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.492 1.175 1982 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.935 -0.056 1982 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.070 1.041 1982 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.681 0.471 1983 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.024 2.395 1983 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 4.374 -1.866 1983 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.650 0.277 1983 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.669 -0.977 1983 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.230 -0.981 1983 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.175 0.456 1983 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.203 3.491 1983 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.690 1.378
