% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database.

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 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.766 2.480 2009 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 1.973 -1.001 2010 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -0.560 -2.079 2010 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.047 -3.708 2010 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 6.748 -0.056 2010 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.413 2.451 2010 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.342 1.887 2010 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.907 2.917 2010 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.959 2.025 2010 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.508 1.923 2010 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.271 1.805 2010 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.428 0.981 2010 11 8.222 -0.067 0 0 8.222 -0.067 8.353 1.067 2010 12 0.111 -3.865 0 0 0.111 -3.865 -1.500 -4.474 2011 1 0.944 -1.577 0 0 0.944 -1.577 -0.078 -1.598 2011 2 5.389 1.725 0 0 5.389 1.725 4.569 1.907 2011 3 8.778 0.971 0 0 8.778 0.971 7.960 1.156 2011 4 14.667 1.701 0 0 14.667 1.701 14.405 2.443 2011 5 18.667 1.209 0 0 18.667 1.209 17.139 0.684 2011 6 23.556 2.562 0 0 23.556 2.562 21.869 1.879 2011 7 25.611 2.674 0 0 25.611 2.674 23.802 1.868 2011 8 24.000 1.412 0 0 24.000 1.412 22.784 1.199 2011 9 20.722 1.253 0 0 20.722 1.253 19.181 0.715 2011 10 13.111 -0.339 0 0 13.111 -0.339 12.080 -0.368 2011 11 9.389 1.100 0 0 9.389 1.100 9.417 2.131 2011 12 6.148 2.172 0 0 6.148 2.172 5.955 2.981 2012 1 5.052 2.530 0 0 5.052 2.530 3.843 2.324 2012 2 5.666 2.001 0 0 5.666 2.001 4.851 2.190 2012 3 13.060 5.253 0 0 13.060 5.253 12.503 5.698 2012 4 13.960 0.994 0 0 13.960 0.994 13.502 1.539 2012 5 20.066 2.609 0 0 20.066 2.609 18.610 2.155 2012 6 21.582 0.588 0 0 21.582 0.588 20.107 0.116 2012 7 25.798 2.861 0 0 25.798 2.861 23.838 1.903 2012 8 23.442 0.854 0 0 23.442 0.854 21.550 -0.036 2012 9 20.247 0.778 0 0 20.247 0.778 18.793 0.327 2012 10 14.251 0.800 1 0 NaN NaN 12.258 -0.190 2012 11 6.483 -1.806 0 0 6.483 -1.806 6.697 -0.589 2012 12 6.121 2.144 0 0 6.121 2.144 5.974 3.000 2013 1 4.367 1.845 0 0 4.367 1.845 4.394 2.875 2013 2 2.732 -0.932 0 0 2.732 -0.932 2.219 -0.442 2013 3 4.970 -2.837 0 0 4.970 -2.837 3.650 -3.155 2013 4 12.825 -0.141 0 0 12.825 -0.141 12.420 0.457 2013 5 17.205 -0.253 0 0 17.205 -0.253 15.779 -0.676 2013 6 22.923 1.930 0 0 22.923 1.930 20.780 0.790 2013 7 24.287 1.349 1 0 NaN NaN 22.086 0.151 2013 8 22.730 0.142 0 0 22.730 0.142 21.238 -0.347 2013 9 20.083 0.615 0 0 20.083 0.615 18.850 0.384 2013 10 17.611 4.161 1 0 NaN NaN 13.359 0.911 2013 11 14.725 6.436 1 0 NaN NaN NaN NaN
