% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 40 % Primary Name: VOSTOK I % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Antarctica % Latitude: -72.10000 +/- 0.05000 % Longitude: 96.60000 +/- 0.05000 % Elevation (m): 3140.00 +/- 0.50 % # of Months: 8 % % IDs: wmssc - 895950 % % Sources: World Monthly Surface Station Climatology % % Site Hash: 6410113ba1da3b28ac465d2c8cda1659 % Raw Data Hash: 35e36b392c566b2d7c5d13c0075f8258 % Adj Data Hash: 35e36b392c566b2d7c5d13c0075f8258 % % 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 1956 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -50.471 0.309 1956 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -50.436 1.250 1956 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -50.758 0.982 1956 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -54.795 -1.450 1956 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -57.906 -4.488 1956 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -50.398 1.449 1956 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -46.393 0.258 1956 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -35.567 1.292 1956 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -25.693 3.124 1957 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -26.219 1.928 1957 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -35.269 0.993 1957 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -45.071 0.462 1957 4 -48.000 4.804 0 0 -48.000 4.804 -45.317 5.463 1957 5 -52.600 1.110 0 0 -52.600 1.110 -50.425 1.262 1957 6 -51.700 2.065 0 0 -51.700 2.065 -49.383 2.357 1957 7 -58.000 -2.632 0 0 -58.000 -2.632 -55.439 -2.094 1957 8 -53.000 2.442 0 0 -53.000 2.442 -50.658 2.760 1957 9 -48.700 5.171 0 0 -48.700 5.171 -47.577 4.270 1957 10 -43.300 5.376 0 0 -43.300 5.376 -42.074 4.578 1957 11 -36.600 2.283 0 0 -36.600 2.283 -34.835 2.024 1957 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -27.173 1.645 1958 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -27.338 0.810 1958 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -38.064 -1.802 1958 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -43.635 1.899 1958 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -47.736 3.043 1958 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -48.584 3.102 1958 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -56.655 -4.915 1958 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -52.846 0.498 1958 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -56.525 -3.107 1958 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -54.653 -2.806 1958 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -48.108 -1.456 1958 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -36.377 0.482
