% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 39258 % Primary Name: BUFFALO GAP % Record Type: TAVG % Country: United States % State: SD % Latitude: 43.49168 +/- 0.00008 % Longitude: -103.31310 +/- 0.00005 % Elevation (m): 982.30 +/- 10.75 % # of Months: 15 % % IDs: coop - 391124 % ghcnd - USC00391124 % ncdc - 20017670 % nws - BGPS2 % wban - 24065 % % Sources: US First Order Summary of the Day % US Cooperative Summary of the Day % Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily % US Cooperative Summary of the Month % Multi-network Metadata System % % Site Hash: df06fc729ff6ea929ce99ae38d03cca3 % Raw Data Hash: 61dcf87c88e1639c3b0675d5ba0fec27 % Adj Data Hash: b8521ae5434bd922cac0945cce424c5f % % 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 2003 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.040 -0.127 2003 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.723 -1.822 2003 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.059 2.419 2003 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.731 2.915 2003 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.212 -0.702 2003 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.592 3.083 2003 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.768 -3.164 2003 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -0.910 2.775 2004 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.753 0.909 2004 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.462 2.083 2004 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 4.036 3.830 2004 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.194 2.267 2004 5 14.611 0.132 0 0 14.611 0.132 13.488 0.322 2004 6 17.778 -2.079 0 0 17.778 -2.079 16.403 -2.141 2004 7 23.167 -0.786 0 0 23.167 -0.786 22.460 -0.180 2004 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.702 -2.114 2004 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.624 0.710 2004 10 11.333 0.512 0 1 11.333 0.512 10.879 1.371 2004 11 5.056 2.347 0 0 5.056 2.347 3.206 1.810 2004 12 1.111 3.483 0 0 1.111 3.483 0.134 3.819 2005 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.767 0.895 2005 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 1.156 4.702 2005 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2.526 2.321 2005 4 9.667 1.427 0 0 9.667 1.427 8.703 1.776 2005 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.937 -1.229 2005 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.085 0.541 2005 7 25.944 1.991 0 0 25.944 1.991 24.232 1.592 2005 8 23.056 -0.073 0 0 23.056 -0.073 21.970 0.153 2005 9 19.889 2.662 0 0 19.889 2.662 18.139 2.224 2005 10 11.722 0.901 0 0 11.722 0.901 10.993 1.485 2005 11 6.056 3.347 0 0 6.056 3.347 4.085 2.689 2005 12 -1.722 0.650 0 0 -1.722 0.650 -3.974 -0.288 2006 1 3.944 9.294 0 0 3.944 9.294 1.714 8.377 2006 2 -2.056 0.177 0 0 -2.056 0.177 -2.570 0.975 2006 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.274 0.069 2006 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.969 3.042 2006 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.511 1.345 2006 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.849 2.305 2006 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.369 3.729 2006 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.778 0.962 2006 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.751 -2.164 2006 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.271 -1.237 2006 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2.252 0.856 2006 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.325 2.360 2007 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -4.275 2.387 2007 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.349 -1.803
