% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 4015 % Primary Name: BOWRAL POST OFFICE % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Australia % Latitude: -34.50000 +/- 0.05000 % Longitude: 150.40000 +/- 0.05000 % Elevation (m): 661.70 +/- 0.50 % # of Months: 8 % % IDs: ghcnd - ASN00068005 % % Sources: Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily % % Site Hash: 21b52af36c9aa42a593984cc4c85ba5e % Raw Data Hash: 64ce1f7acfeb9ac643e9675d0a436909 % Adj Data Hash: a8d5590b2a2552ccc5f1313b17c6377f % % 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 1964 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.517 -0.299 1964 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.822 -0.799 1964 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.999 0.288 1964 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 14.158 0.526 1964 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.837 -0.989 1964 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.117 0.606 1964 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 6.340 0.015 1964 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.589 0.010 1964 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.371 0.311 1964 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.241 -1.678 1964 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.018 0.333 1964 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 16.706 -1.568 1965 1 17.235 -3.562 1 0 NaN NaN 18.175 -1.642 1965 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.311 0.690 1965 3 18.989 0.298 1 0 NaN NaN 18.565 0.855 1965 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.464 -1.167 1965 5 10.531 -0.275 0 0 10.531 -0.275 9.753 -0.072 1965 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.320 -0.192 1965 7 7.018 -0.287 1 0 NaN NaN 5.828 -0.497 1965 8 10.149 1.590 1 0 NaN NaN 8.328 0.749 1965 9 13.662 2.622 0 0 13.662 2.622 12.224 2.164 1965 10 15.758 1.860 1 0 NaN NaN 14.362 1.444 1965 11 15.513 -1.153 0 0 15.513 -1.153 14.788 -0.897 1965 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.854 0.580 1966 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.037 0.220 1966 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 18.681 -0.939 1966 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 17.493 -0.217 1966 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.751 0.119 1966 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.843 -0.982 1966 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.413 -0.099 1966 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 5.355 -0.970 1966 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 7.089 -0.490 1966 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.567 -0.493 1966 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.258 -0.660 1966 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.267 -0.419
