% This file contains a station summary listing for a temperature % station in the Berkeley Earth database. This station is identified as: % % Berkeley ID#: 88864 % Primary Name: BROKEN HILL (STEPHENS CREEK RE % Record Type: TAVG % Country: Australia % Latitude: -31.88030 +/- 0.00005 % Longitude: 141.59300 +/- 0.00005 % Elevation (m): 238.00 +/- 0.50 % # of Months: 16 % % IDs: ghcnd - ASN00047031 % % Sources: Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily % % Site Hash: cfcc184f72e87e14385ff8a54e94052a % Raw Data Hash: d5bb5b8bf77e757360e9f88b82bcb7db % Adj Data Hash: 049afc78624bade349f18ddad2d5ac9f % % 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 1967 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.208 2.215 1967 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.330 -0.038 1967 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 23.775 -1.285 1968 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.386 0.553 1968 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 28.337 2.089 1968 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 25.439 1.985 1968 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 20.695 2.175 1968 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.722 -1.296 1968 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.429 0.110 1968 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 9.221 -1.214 1968 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.198 -0.863 1968 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 15.004 -0.430 1968 10 18.781 0.900 0 0 18.781 0.900 19.789 0.795 1968 11 20.813 -0.441 0 0 20.813 -0.441 21.553 -0.815 1968 12 23.119 -0.827 0 0 23.119 -0.827 24.069 -0.991 1969 1 27.066 1.346 0 0 27.066 1.346 28.463 1.630 1969 2 26.337 1.203 1 0 NaN NaN 27.136 0.888 1969 3 21.127 -1.214 0 0 21.127 -1.214 22.857 -0.597 1969 4 17.237 -0.170 0 0 17.237 -0.170 18.797 0.278 1969 5 11.552 -1.353 0 0 11.552 -1.353 12.882 -1.136 1969 6 8.722 -1.484 0 0 8.722 -1.484 10.629 -0.690 1969 7 10.302 0.980 0 0 10.302 0.980 11.686 1.251 1969 8 11.555 0.607 0 0 11.555 0.607 12.728 0.667 1969 9 12.160 -2.161 0 0 12.160 -2.161 12.946 -2.488 1969 10 19.881 2.000 0 0 19.881 2.000 20.444 1.450 1969 11 21.000 -0.255 0 0 21.000 -0.255 21.691 -0.677 1969 12 23.565 -0.382 0 0 23.565 -0.382 24.051 -1.008 1970 1 24.595 -1.125 0 0 24.595 -1.125 25.583 -1.250 1970 2 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 27.873 1.625 1970 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 22.213 -1.242 1970 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.155 0.635 1970 5 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.003 -1.014 1970 6 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 12.239 0.920 1970 7 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 10.380 -0.054 1970 8 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 11.221 -0.840 1970 9 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 13.505 -1.929 1970 10 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 19.588 0.594 1970 11 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 21.524 -0.844 1970 12 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 24.463 -0.597 1971 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 26.798 -0.035
