% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 43371 % Primary Name: VALDEZ % Record Type: TAVG % Country: United States % State: AK % Latitude: 61.13300 +/- 0.00050 % Longitude: -146.36700 +/- 0.00050 % Elevation (m): 3.00 +/- 0.05 % # of Months: 54 % % IDs: gsod - 998271-99999 % icao - VDZA2 % usaf - 998271 % % Sources: Global Summary of the Day % % Site Hash: 710f1bd63207e76ce904c90d72d2cbe5 % Raw Data Hash: 0495d44dcfbf6f53998e533a5b337612 % Adj Data Hash: 5a6ad10987073b66e0d1a4fa94f1be98 % % 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 2008 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 8.054 -0.735 2008 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.695 -0.675 2008 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.232 -0.403 2008 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.296 0.067 2008 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 4.130 -0.894 2008 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2.523 0.911 2008 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.084 0.301 2009 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -2.301 0.465 2009 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.291 -0.070 2009 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN -1.221 -0.462 2009 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2.287 0.210 2009 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 6.811 1.549 2009 6 11.370 3.841 0 0 11.370 3.841 9.427 0.639 2009 7 12.552 2.442 0 0 12.552 2.442 12.706 1.336 2009 8 10.522 0.146 0 0 10.522 0.146 11.686 0.051 2009 9 8.517 0.546 0 0 8.517 0.546 9.959 0.729 2009 10 5.887 2.122 0 0 5.887 2.122 7.439 2.415 2009 11 -2.098 -2.450 0 0 -2.098 -2.450 1.772 0.160 2009 12 -2.351 0.293 0 0 -2.351 0.293 0.660 2.045 2010 1 -2.837 1.189 0 0 -2.837 1.189 0.659 3.426 2010 2 -0.667 1.814 0 0 -0.667 1.814 3.367 4.588 2010 3 0.161 2.180 0 0 0.161 2.180 0.704 1.463 2010 4 3.654 2.837 0 0 3.654 2.837 3.183 1.106 2010 5 8.701 4.698 0 0 8.701 4.698 6.767 1.505 2010 6 10.878 3.348 0 0 10.878 3.348 9.513 0.724 2010 7 10.816 0.706 0 0 10.816 0.706 10.739 -0.630 2010 8 10.892 0.517 0 0 10.892 0.517 12.074 0.439 2010 9 8.348 0.377 0 0 8.348 0.377 9.979 0.750 2010 10 4.478 0.713 0 0 4.478 0.713 6.186 1.161 2010 11 1.170 0.818 0 0 1.170 0.818 3.888 2.276 2010 12 -5.821 -3.177 0 0 -5.821 -3.177 -1.487 -0.102 2011 1 -3.122 0.904 0 0 -3.122 0.904 -0.563 2.204 2011 2 -4.125 -1.644 0 0 -4.125 -1.644 -0.592 0.630 2011 3 -1.982 0.036 0 0 -1.982 0.036 -1.032 -0.272 2011 4 3.435 2.618 0 0 3.435 2.618 2.958 0.881 2011 5 8.158 4.155 0 0 8.158 4.155 6.440 1.178 2011 6 10.631 3.102 0 0 10.631 3.102 9.333 0.544 2011 7 11.893 1.782 0 0 11.893 1.782 12.027 0.658 2011 8 10.608 0.232 0 0 10.608 0.232 11.471 -0.164 2011 9 8.202 0.231 0 0 8.202 0.231 9.388 0.158 2011 10 4.427 0.661 0 0 4.427 0.661 6.069 1.045 2011 11 -4.694 -5.047 0 0 -4.694 -5.047 -0.209 -1.820 2011 12 -1.602 1.042 0 0 -1.602 1.042 1.296 2.680 2012 1 -7.430 -3.404 0 0 -7.430 -3.404 -4.838 -2.072 2012 2 -0.990 1.490 0 0 -0.990 1.490 2.057 3.279 2012 3 -2.027 -0.008 0 0 -2.027 -0.008 -1.383 -0.624 2012 4 4.498 3.681 0 0 4.498 3.681 3.470 1.394 2012 5 5.785 1.782 0 0 5.785 1.782 4.519 -0.743 2012 6 9.520 1.991 0 0 9.520 1.991 8.324 -0.465 2012 7 10.123 0.012 0 0 10.123 0.012 9.909 -1.461 2012 8 10.649 0.273 0 0 10.649 0.273 11.438 -0.197 2012 9 7.674 -0.296 0 0 7.674 -0.296 9.444 0.215 2012 10 3.095 -0.670 0 0 3.095 -0.670 3.992 -1.033 2012 11 -3.313 -3.665 0 0 -3.313 -3.665 0.999 -0.612 2012 12 -5.177 -2.533 0 0 -5.177 -2.533 -1.051 0.334 2013 1 -2.815 1.211 0 0 -2.815 1.211 0.814 3.581 2013 2 -1.167 1.314 0 0 -1.167 1.314 2.834 4.055 2013 3 -2.022 -0.003 0 0 -2.022 -0.003 -0.641 0.118 2013 4 0.600 -0.217 0 0 0.600 -0.217 0.377 -1.700 2013 5 5.321 1.318 0 0 5.321 1.318 4.783 -0.479 2013 6 11.781 4.252 0 0 11.781 4.252 10.742 1.954 2013 7 12.803 2.693 0 0 12.803 2.693 12.823 1.454 2013 8 11.233 0.857 0 0 11.233 0.857 12.569 0.934 2013 9 9.091 1.120 0 0 9.091 1.120 10.541 1.311 2013 10 5.342 1.577 0 0 5.342 1.577 7.789 2.765 2013 11 4.387 4.035 1 0 NaN NaN NaN NaN
