% 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 1988 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.749 1.054 1988 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.365 2.160 1988 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.391 2.097 1988 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.338 0.070 1988 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.944 -2.868 1988 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.784 1.718 1988 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -2.455 -0.020 1989 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.117 4.276 1989 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.473 -1.284 1989 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.840 -0.134 1989 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 6.780 -1.025 1989 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.485 -0.615 1989 6 19.167 0.397 0 0 19.167 0.397 19.673 -0.021 1989 7 22.056 0.775 0 0 22.056 0.775 22.581 0.376 1989 8 20.111 -0.258 0 0 20.111 -0.258 21.028 -0.266 1989 9 15.389 -0.955 0 0 15.389 -0.955 16.683 -0.585 1989 10 10.389 0.502 0 0 10.389 0.502 11.328 0.516 1989 11 1.778 -1.363 0 0 1.778 -1.363 3.411 -0.655 1989 12 -9.167 -5.807 0 0 -9.167 -5.807 -8.653 -6.219 1990 1 -0.500 5.818 0 0 -0.500 5.818 -0.277 5.116 1990 2 -2.778 2.336 0 0 -2.778 2.336 -1.775 2.414 1990 3 1.889 1.839 0 0 1.889 1.839 3.472 2.497 1990 4 8.056 1.175 0 0 8.056 1.175 9.427 1.621 1990 5 12.333 -0.841 0 0 12.333 -0.841 12.987 -1.113 1990 6 18.722 -0.048 0 0 18.722 -0.048 19.841 0.146 1990 7 20.944 -0.336 0 0 20.944 -0.336 21.816 -0.389 1990 8 20.278 -0.091 0 0 20.278 -0.091 20.997 -0.297 1990 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.282 0.013 1990 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.007 0.195 1990 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 6.608 2.542 1990 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -0.654 1.781 1991 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.268 0.125 1991 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.426 2.763 1991 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 3.595 2.620 1991 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.416 2.611 1991 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.905 3.806 1991 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.786 2.091 1991 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.126 0.921 1991 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.164 0.870
