Lake Superior Air Temperature dataset
The data file contains hourly air temperature measurements
at four locations on or near Lake Superior. This record
starts at 1 January 2000 (at 00:00), and continues up until the Fall of
2006. There are four columns of space-delimited temperature data,
in Celsius, each from a different location:
Column 1 Lat 47.08 Lon -90.73
Column 2 Lat 47.87 Lon -89.31
Column 3 Lat 48.22 Lon -88.37
Column 4 Lat 47.18 Lon -87.22
In these data, we expect to find a lot of patterns and cycles,
with an individual location's record, as well as correlations between
locations. Because of your familiarity with the weather, and
after looking at the locations on a map (Google Maps accepts comma
separated Lat, Lon), you should quickly make a list of what you expect.
Note: these records have gaps, indicated as the ever-pleasant NaN. Just what you'd expect from the messy world.
