% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 29739 % Primary Name: CHESTER % Record Type: TAVG % Country: United States % State: SC % Latitude: 34.78300 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: -81.20000 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 200.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 59 % % IDs: gsod - 720599-99999 % icao - KDCM % usaf - 720599 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: 5dc66ee9e17d460a47d0e1d042048d4d % Raw Data Hash: 74269102c667779054dc3467697ba8cc % Adj Data Hash: b22ca82531211abcc30a73fbaab458fc % % 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 2008 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.037 -0.425 2008 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.443 1.553 2008 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.664 0.608 2008 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.255 0.055 2008 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.421 -0.221 2008 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.676 2.414 2008 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.749 0.608 2008 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.326 0.563 2008 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.233 0.718 2008 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.357 -0.753 2008 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.689 -1.179 2008 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.946 2.490 2009 1 5.427 0.675 1 0 NaN NaN 5.301 -0.160 2009 2 7.222 1.041 0 0 7.222 1.041 6.969 0.079 2009 3 10.403 0.056 0 0 10.403 0.056 11.230 0.174 2009 4 15.756 0.265 0 0 15.756 0.265 16.387 0.187 2009 5 19.921 -0.011 0 0 19.921 -0.011 21.204 0.563 2009 6 24.407 0.854 0 0 24.407 0.854 25.764 1.501 2009 7 24.310 -1.121 0 0 24.310 -1.121 25.755 -0.385 2009 8 24.815 -0.238 0 0 24.815 -0.238 26.587 0.824 2009 9 21.539 -0.267 0 0 21.539 -0.267 23.151 0.637 2009 10 14.978 -0.422 0 0 14.978 -0.422 15.661 -0.449 2009 11 11.193 1.033 0 0 11.193 1.033 12.795 1.927 2009 12 4.711 -1.035 0 0 4.711 -1.035 5.404 -1.051 2010 1 3.118 -1.634 0 0 3.118 -1.634 3.461 -2.001 2010 2 3.319 -2.861 0 0 3.319 -2.861 3.508 -3.382 2010 3 10.211 -0.135 0 0 10.211 -0.135 10.455 -0.601 2010 4 17.281 1.790 0 0 17.281 1.790 18.004 1.804 2010 5 21.421 1.489 0 0 21.421 1.489 22.512 1.871 2010 6 26.178 2.625 0 0 26.178 2.625 27.303 3.041 2010 7 26.692 1.261 0 0 26.692 1.261 28.143 2.003 2010 8 25.901 0.848 0 0 25.901 0.848 27.592 1.829 2010 9 23.644 1.839 0 0 23.644 1.839 24.876 2.361 2010 10 16.405 1.004 0 0 16.405 1.004 17.004 0.894 2010 11 10.322 0.163 0 0 10.322 0.163 11.674 0.806 2010 12 1.889 -3.857 0 0 1.889 -3.857 2.454 -4.001 2011 1 3.247 -1.505 0 0 3.247 -1.505 3.558 -1.904 2011 2 8.700 2.520 0 0 8.700 2.520 8.472 1.582 2011 3 11.326 0.979 0 0 11.326 0.979 11.996 0.940 2011 4 17.411 1.920 0 0 17.411 1.920 18.138 1.938 2011 5 20.532 0.600 0 0 20.532 0.600 21.314 0.672 2011 6 25.633 2.080 0 0 25.633 2.080 26.596 2.333 2011 7 26.749 1.318 0 0 26.749 1.318 28.173 2.032 2011 8 25.548 0.495 0 0 25.548 0.495 27.531 1.768 2011 9 21.520 -0.285 0 0 21.520 -0.285 23.390 0.876 2011 10 14.418 -0.983 0 0 14.418 -0.983 15.284 -0.826 2011 11 11.311 1.152 0 0 11.311 1.152 12.476 1.607 2011 12 8.756 3.010 0 0 8.756 3.010 9.150 2.694 2012 1 7.531 2.779 0 0 7.531 2.779 7.697 2.236 2012 2 8.249 2.068 0 0 8.249 2.068 8.557 1.666 2012 3 16.007 5.660 0 0 16.007 5.660 16.845 5.789 2012 4 16.263 0.772 0 0 16.263 0.772 17.753 1.553 2012 5 21.278 1.345 0 0 21.278 1.345 22.377 1.735 2012 6 24.022 0.469 0 0 24.022 0.469 23.898 -0.364 2012 7 27.278 1.847 0 0 27.278 1.847 28.030 1.890 2012 8 24.638 -0.416 0 0 24.638 -0.416 25.471 -0.292 2012 9 21.987 0.181 0 0 21.987 0.181 23.064 0.549 2012 10 16.362 0.961 0 0 16.362 0.961 16.586 0.476 2012 11 9.754 -0.405 0 0 9.754 -0.405 10.495 -0.374 2012 12 9.751 4.005 0 0 9.751 4.005 9.758 3.303 2013 1 8.532 3.780 0 0 8.532 3.780 8.507 3.045 2013 2 6.595 0.414 0 0 6.595 0.414 6.170 -0.720 2013 3 8.547 -1.800 0 0 8.547 -1.800 8.321 -2.735 2013 4 16.520 1.029 0 0 16.520 1.029 16.587 0.387 2013 5 19.608 -0.325 0 0 19.608 -0.325 19.435 -1.207 2013 6 24.291 0.738 0 0 24.291 0.738 24.898 0.635 2013 7 25.108 -0.324 0 0 25.108 -0.324 25.725 -0.416 2013 8 24.878 -0.176 0 0 24.878 -0.176 25.019 -0.744 2013 9 22.935 1.130 0 0 22.935 1.130 23.146 0.631 2013 10 18.102 2.701 0 0 18.102 2.701 17.145 1.035 2013 11 13.938 3.779 1 0 NaN NaN NaN NaN
