% 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 2002 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.518 1.361 2002 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.162 1.447 2002 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.044 2.648 2002 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.315 1.427 2002 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 6.022 -0.216 2002 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 1.283 -0.194 2003 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -2.795 -2.357 2003 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -0.332 -1.264 2003 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.460 2.699 2003 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.872 1.463 2003 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.239 -0.081 2003 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.024 -1.032 2003 7 21.556 0.200 0 0 21.556 0.200 22.348 0.191 2003 8 22.487 1.572 1 0 NaN NaN 23.021 1.305 2003 9 17.500 -0.095 0 0 17.500 -0.095 18.518 0.123 2003 10 10.278 -0.810 0 0 10.278 -0.810 11.562 -0.327 2003 11 8.000 2.562 0 0 8.000 2.562 9.762 3.524 2003 12 0.278 -0.398 0 0 0.278 -0.398 1.108 -0.368 2004 1 -3.333 -2.096 0 0 -3.333 -2.096 -1.583 -1.146 2004 2 0.944 0.813 0 0 0.944 0.813 0.712 -0.219 2004 3 10.450 5.489 1 0 NaN NaN 7.820 2.059 2004 4 11.389 0.780 0 0 11.389 0.780 12.056 0.647 2004 5 19.333 3.814 0 0 19.333 3.814 19.311 2.991 2004 6 19.611 0.355 0 0 19.611 0.355 20.241 0.185 2004 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.170 0.014 2004 8 20.667 -0.248 0 0 20.667 -0.248 20.823 -0.892 2004 9 19.278 1.683 0 0 19.278 1.683 19.329 0.933 2004 10 14.858 3.770 1 0 NaN NaN 13.614 1.726 2004 11 8.778 3.340 0 0 8.778 3.340 9.360 3.122 2004 12 2.000 1.324 0 0 2.000 1.324 1.868 0.392 2005 1 0.833 2.071 0 0 0.833 2.071 1.931 2.368 2005 2 2.754 2.623 1 0 NaN NaN 2.418 1.486 2005 3 1.444 -3.516 0 0 1.444 -3.516 4.018 -1.744 2005 4 13.622 3.013 1 0 NaN NaN 12.271 0.862 2005 5 14.012 -1.507 1 0 NaN NaN 14.260 -2.060 2005 6 22.190 2.935 1 0 NaN NaN 21.326 1.270 2005 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.762 1.606 2005 8 22.476 1.562 1 0 NaN NaN 23.832 2.117 2005 9 20.709 3.114 1 0 NaN NaN 20.393 1.997 2005 10 16.445 5.357 1 0 NaN NaN 13.420 1.532 2005 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.285 2.046 2005 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -0.116 -1.593 2006 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 4.187 4.625 2006 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.338 -0.594 2006 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 6.060 0.299 2006 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.313 2.904 2006 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.882 -1.438 2006 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.731 -0.326 2006 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.812 0.655 2006 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.346 1.631 2006 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.235 -1.161 2006 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.809 -1.079
