% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 37661 % Primary Name: MARSHALLTOWN #2 % Record Type: TAVG % Country: United States % State: IA % Latitude: 42.06670 +/- 0.00005 % Longitude: -92.93330 +/- 0.00005 % Elevation (m): 273.71 +/- 0.15 % # of Months: 7 % % Alternate Names: Missing Station ID - 135206 % % IDs: coop - 135206 % ghcnd - USC00135206 % ncdc - 12001830 % % Sources: US Cooperative Summary of the Day % Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily % Multi-network Metadata System % % Site Hash: cf07457f5f6d8201bf74741e225c2a78 % Raw Data Hash: b23ba2a4040bde21eeafc529e593d241 % Adj Data Hash: b23ba2a4040bde21eeafc529e593d241 % % 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 1948 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.823 -0.965 1948 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.517 0.440 1948 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.950 1.167 1948 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.247 2.332 1948 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.896 0.162 1948 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 3.315 1.218 1948 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -4.813 0.610 1949 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -9.786 -0.338 1949 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -8.278 -2.451 1949 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -0.438 -0.556 1949 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.197 0.421 1949 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.035 1.449 1949 6 22.893 1.560 0 0 22.893 1.560 22.358 1.569 1949 7 24.716 1.094 0 0 24.716 1.094 24.313 1.236 1949 8 23.513 1.185 0 0 23.513 1.185 22.564 0.781 1949 9 14.870 -2.590 0 0 14.870 -2.590 14.605 -2.309 1949 10 12.985 1.706 0 0 12.985 1.706 13.228 2.493 1949 11 5.182 2.540 0 0 5.182 2.540 5.025 2.928 1949 12 -2.056 2.821 0 0 -2.056 2.821 -3.806 1.617 1950 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -10.659 -1.211 1950 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -6.817 -0.990 1950 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -2.546 -2.665 1950 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.173 -3.603 1950 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.609 -0.976 1950 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.909 -0.879 1950 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.720 -2.357 1950 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.488 -2.294 1950 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.415 -0.500 1950 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.179 3.444 1950 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.105 -1.992 1950 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -8.547 -3.124
