% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 29768 % Primary Name: PICKENS CO AIRPORT % Record Type: TAVG % Country: United States % State: SC % Latitude: 34.81700 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: -82.70000 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 309.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 41 % % IDs: gsod - 720744-99999 % icao - KLQK % usaf - 720744 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: 7af446527ca45b2e1e30c6c864d3c2a6 % Raw Data Hash: b42f3de392a2a89a28902f6e446332a3 % Adj Data Hash: 19b4df5289f65730977fa9b93be6a5e1 % % 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 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.755 -0.385 2009 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.587 0.824 2009 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.151 0.637 2009 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.661 -0.449 2009 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.795 1.927 2009 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.404 -1.051 2010 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 3.461 -2.001 2010 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 3.508 -3.382 2010 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.455 -0.601 2010 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.004 1.804 2010 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.512 1.871 2010 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.303 3.041 2010 7 28.722 3.897 1 0 NaN NaN 28.143 2.003 2010 8 26.000 1.552 0 0 26.000 1.552 27.592 1.829 2010 9 22.522 1.323 0 0 22.522 1.323 24.876 2.361 2010 10 15.427 0.632 0 0 15.427 0.632 17.004 0.894 2010 11 9.600 0.047 0 0 9.600 0.047 11.674 0.806 2010 12 1.710 -3.430 0 0 1.710 -3.430 2.454 -4.001 2011 1 3.097 -1.049 0 0 3.097 -1.049 3.558 -1.904 2011 2 8.312 2.737 0 0 8.312 2.737 8.472 1.582 2011 3 11.711 1.971 0 0 11.711 1.971 11.996 0.940 2011 4 17.167 2.282 0 0 17.167 2.282 18.138 1.938 2011 5 20.194 0.867 0 0 20.194 0.867 21.314 0.672 2011 6 24.881 1.934 0 0 24.881 1.934 26.596 2.333 2011 7 26.660 1.834 0 0 26.660 1.834 28.173 2.032 2011 8 26.355 1.907 0 0 26.355 1.907 27.531 1.768 2011 9 21.363 0.163 0 0 21.363 0.163 23.390 0.876 2011 10 14.113 -0.682 0 0 14.113 -0.682 15.284 -0.826 2011 11 10.769 1.215 0 0 10.769 1.215 12.476 1.607 2011 12 8.120 2.980 0 0 8.120 2.980 9.150 2.694 2012 1 6.729 2.583 0 0 6.729 2.583 7.697 2.236 2012 2 8.297 2.723 1 0 NaN NaN 8.557 1.666 2012 3 15.916 6.175 0 0 15.916 6.175 16.845 5.789 2012 4 16.315 1.430 0 0 16.315 1.430 17.753 1.553 2012 5 21.401 2.075 0 0 21.401 2.075 22.377 1.735 2012 6 22.859 -0.088 0 0 22.859 -0.088 23.898 -0.364 2012 7 27.057 2.232 0 0 27.057 2.232 28.030 1.890 2012 8 23.742 -0.706 0 0 23.742 -0.706 25.471 -0.292 2012 9 20.724 -0.476 0 0 20.724 -0.476 23.064 0.549 2012 10 14.715 -0.080 0 0 14.715 -0.080 16.586 0.476 2012 11 8.965 -0.588 0 0 8.965 -0.588 10.495 -0.374 2012 12 8.339 3.199 0 0 8.339 3.199 9.758 3.303 2013 1 7.819 3.673 0 0 7.819 3.673 8.507 3.045 2013 2 5.782 0.207 0 0 5.782 0.207 6.170 -0.720 2013 3 7.484 -2.257 0 0 7.484 -2.257 8.321 -2.735 2013 4 15.313 0.428 0 0 15.313 0.428 16.587 0.387 2013 5 18.296 -1.031 0 0 18.296 -1.031 19.435 -1.207 2013 6 23.341 0.393 0 0 23.341 0.393 24.898 0.635 2013 7 23.921 -0.904 0 0 23.921 -0.904 25.725 -0.416 2013 8 23.190 -1.258 0 0 23.190 -1.258 25.019 -0.744 2013 9 21.137 -0.063 0 0 21.137 -0.063 23.146 0.631 2013 10 15.582 0.788 0 0 15.582 0.788 17.145 1.035 2013 11 12.684 3.130 1 0 NaN NaN NaN NaN
