% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 33085 % Primary Name: MC DOWELL % Record Type: TAVG % Country: United States % State: VA % Latitude: 38.33330 +/- 0.00005 % Longitude: -79.50000 +/- 0.00005 % Elevation (m): 609.90 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 22 % % IDs: coop - 445414 % ghcnd - USC00445414 % ncdc - 20027213 % % Sources: US Cooperative Summary of the Day % Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily % US Cooperative Summary of the Month % Multi-network Metadata System % % Site Hash: ce1953299be53f91f59c4647ab773fd3 % Raw Data Hash: b9dec58f9255a5465398ad81ec489326 % Adj Data Hash: 97a641ccccd7ff3f2f414596547a8294 % % 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 1902 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.278 0.521 1902 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.066 -1.314 1902 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.618 1.436 1902 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.529 -0.501 1902 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.891 0.651 1902 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.868 -0.850 1902 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.292 -0.852 1902 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.394 0.671 1902 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.821 3.585 1902 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 1.397 -0.852 1903 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.083 -0.602 1903 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2.613 0.597 1903 3 11.111 5.453 1 0 NaN NaN 10.572 3.814 1903 4 8.648 -2.634 0 0 8.648 -2.634 11.728 -0.652 1903 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.547 0.365 1903 6 16.447 -3.485 0 0 16.447 -3.485 18.390 -2.641 1903 7 20.902 -1.240 0 0 20.902 -1.240 23.132 -0.109 1903 8 20.601 -1.018 0 0 20.601 -1.018 22.172 -0.546 1903 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.565 -0.579 1903 10 12.177 0.554 0 0 12.177 0.554 12.537 -0.186 1903 11 3.662 -2.474 1 0 NaN NaN 5.026 -2.209 1903 12 -2.327 -3.478 0 0 -2.327 -3.478 -1.472 -3.722 1904 1 -2.790 -2.376 0 0 -2.790 -2.376 -1.925 -2.610 1904 2 -1.477 -2.394 0 0 -1.477 -2.394 -1.762 -3.778 1904 3 6.564 0.906 1 0 NaN NaN 7.001 0.244 1904 4 9.430 -1.851 0 0 9.430 -1.851 9.875 -2.506 1904 5 15.690 -0.392 0 0 15.690 -0.392 16.654 -0.527 1904 6 20.223 0.292 0 0 20.223 0.292 20.638 -0.393 1904 7 20.913 -1.229 0 0 20.913 -1.229 22.151 -1.089 1904 8 20.732 -0.886 0 0 20.732 -0.886 21.817 -0.900 1904 9 18.050 0.005 0 0 18.050 0.005 19.165 0.022 1904 10 12.841 1.218 0 0 12.841 1.218 11.858 -0.865 1904 11 5.408 -0.729 1 0 NaN NaN 5.865 -1.371 1904 12 -1.421 -2.571 1 0 NaN NaN 0.015 -2.235 1905 1 -3.746 -3.332 0 0 -3.746 -3.332 -1.506 -2.191 1905 2 -5.065 -5.981 0 0 -5.065 -5.981 -3.517 -5.532 1905 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.433 1.676 1905 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.467 0.087 1905 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.312 1.130 1905 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.474 0.444 1905 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.024 -0.217 1905 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.827 -0.890 1905 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.477 0.333 1905 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.362 -0.360 1905 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 6.502 -0.733 1905 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 1.676 -0.574 1906 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 3.325 2.640 1906 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.978 -1.038
