% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 33258 % Primary Name: BIRCH RIVER 3 WSW % Record Type: TAVG % Country: United States % State: WV % Latitude: 38.49190 +/- 0.00005 % Longitude: -80.80220 +/- 0.00005 % Elevation (m): 454.15 +/- 0.15 % # of Months: 33 % % Alternate Names: Missing Station ID - 460842 % % IDs: coop - 460842 % ghcnd - USC00460842 % ncdc - 30000895 % nws - BIRW2 % % Sources: US Cooperative Summary of the Day % Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily % US Cooperative Summary of the Month % Multi-network Metadata System % % Site Hash: abe8a788b05822ff3413e9d09f75c4b2 % Raw Data Hash: dbb21ed815e7d3d5e117d9605d7f9dcd % Adj Data Hash: c03d66ba8e4ec1f70f6deec1b7cb157c % % 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 1998 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.111 1.222 1998 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.862 1.624 1998 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 4.131 2.654 1999 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2.138 2.575 1999 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2.484 1.552 1999 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 3.588 -2.173 1999 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.481 2.071 1999 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.510 0.190 1999 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.148 1.092 1999 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.367 2.210 1999 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.077 0.362 1999 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.183 -0.213 1999 10 11.681 -0.264 0 0 11.554 -0.391 11.731 -0.157 1999 11 9.648 3.353 0 0 9.521 3.226 9.849 3.611 1999 12 2.889 1.356 0 0 2.762 1.229 2.844 1.368 2000 1 -0.889 -0.508 0 0 -1.016 -0.635 -0.940 -0.503 2000 2 5.000 4.012 0 0 4.873 3.885 3.793 2.861 2000 3 8.333 2.516 0 0 8.207 2.389 8.639 2.878 2000 4 11.056 -0.410 0 0 10.929 -0.537 11.238 -0.171 2000 5 17.889 1.513 0 0 17.762 1.386 18.034 1.714 2000 6 21.056 0.943 0 4 21.673 1.560 21.457 1.401 2000 7 20.222 -1.991 0 0 20.839 -1.374 21.350 -0.807 2000 8 20.611 -1.161 0 0 21.228 -0.544 21.557 -0.159 2000 9 16.889 -1.563 0 0 17.506 -0.946 18.443 0.047 2000 10 11.944 -0.000 0 0 12.562 0.617 13.218 1.330 2000 11 5.000 -1.295 0 0 5.617 -0.677 5.802 -0.436 2000 12 -3.333 -4.866 0 0 -2.716 -4.249 -2.621 -4.098 2001 1 -1.944 -1.564 0 0 -1.327 -0.947 -0.970 -0.533 2001 2 2.889 1.901 0 0 3.506 2.518 3.649 2.717 2001 3 2.333 -3.484 0 0 2.950 -2.867 3.555 -2.206 2001 4 15.167 3.701 0 0 15.784 4.318 13.514 2.105 2001 5 18.944 2.568 0 0 19.562 3.185 16.931 0.612 2001 6 21.389 1.276 0 0 22.006 1.893 20.466 0.410 2001 7 21.278 -0.935 0 0 21.895 -0.318 21.490 -0.666 2001 8 21.833 0.061 0 0 22.450 0.679 23.004 1.288 2001 9 16.889 -1.563 0 0 17.506 -0.946 17.690 -0.706 2001 10 13.167 1.222 0 4 12.182 0.237 11.466 -0.422 2001 11 11.222 4.928 0 0 10.238 3.943 9.938 3.700 2001 12 6.167 4.634 0 0 5.182 3.649 5.266 3.789 2002 1 3.000 3.381 0 0 2.015 2.396 1.827 2.264 2002 2 3.889 2.901 0 0 2.904 1.916 2.207 1.275 2002 3 5.333 -0.484 0 0 4.349 -1.469 6.513 0.752 2002 4 14.500 3.034 0 0 13.515 2.050 13.518 2.109 2002 5 15.944 -0.432 0 0 14.960 -1.416 15.213 -1.107 2002 6 23.111 2.998 0 0 22.127 2.014 21.572 1.515 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
