% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 39303 % Primary Name: WEST ALTON % Record Type: TAVG % Country: United States % State: NH % Latitude: 43.55000 +/- 0.00005 % Longitude: -71.31670 +/- 0.00005 % Elevation (m): 156.10 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 11 % % IDs: coop - 279104 % ghcnd - USC00279104 % ncdc - 20018653 % % Sources: US Cooperative Summary of the Day % Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily % US Cooperative Summary of the Month % Multi-network Metadata System % % Site Hash: 2f2acb6bfefa93b359dc6c342bf53141 % Raw Data Hash: 0b6df55436aa224e1d32f8eeb48df2f9 % Adj Data Hash: e58aab16d44e7726aa5cefdd12781ca8 % % 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 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.617 0.976 1948 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.680 0.462 1948 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 6.800 -0.374 1948 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.068 3.957 1948 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -4.649 1.880 1949 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.017 4.190 1949 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.604 2.598 1949 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.528 0.946 1949 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.501 1.316 1949 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.624 0.489 1949 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.356 1.981 1949 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.444 1.541 1949 8 24.380 4.393 1 0 NaN NaN 18.880 1.238 1949 9 19.111 3.548 1 0 NaN NaN 12.431 -0.786 1949 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.534 2.361 1949 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 0.275 -0.836 1949 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -4.726 1.802 1950 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.065 4.143 1950 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -9.772 -1.570 1950 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.449 -2.975 1950 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2.698 -1.487 1950 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.329 0.194 1950 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.614 0.239 1950 7 21.278 0.028 0 0 21.278 0.028 18.514 -0.389 1950 8 19.778 -0.210 0 0 19.778 -0.210 17.211 -0.431 1950 9 13.500 -2.063 0 0 13.500 -2.063 10.835 -2.382 1950 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.365 1.192 1950 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 4.064 2.953 1950 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -4.929 1.600 1951 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -6.593 2.615 1951 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -5.535 2.667 1951 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.283 1.190 1951 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.293 1.107 1951 5 13.167 -0.315 0 0 13.167 -0.315 11.282 0.147 1951 6 16.778 -1.944 0 0 16.778 -1.944 15.216 -1.160 1951 7 20.944 -0.305 0 0 20.944 -0.305 18.751 -0.153 1951 8 19.222 -0.766 0 0 19.222 -0.766 17.057 -0.585 1951 9 16.167 0.603 0 0 16.167 0.603 13.328 0.111 1951 10 10.500 0.980 0 0 10.500 0.980 8.025 0.851 1951 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -0.473 -1.585 1951 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -6.703 -0.175 1952 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -7.127 2.081 1952 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -6.578 1.625 1952 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.911 0.562 1952 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.547 1.362 1952 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.263 -1.872 1952 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.814 0.439 1952 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.699 1.796 1952 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.124 0.482 1952 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.074 0.857 1952 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.795 -1.379
