title: Finding continuous repetition of numbers in an array in each column using JavaScript
body: <p>I have a real time temperature log from 8 stations for scientific studies.
  Whenever all 8 stations have acquired data , it is pushed in an array of 8 columns.</p>
  <p>e.g.  the following table</p>
  <pre><code>  Time1    22  26  18  12  20  15  ..   for 8 stations
  
    Time2   20  26  15  13  20  18...
  
    Time3   19  28  17  15  20  16 ...
  </code></pre>
  <p>Time1 is the most recent data tag ...   Time2 is previous one an so on.</p>
  <p>Here 26 is repeated 2 times in station #2</p>
  <pre><code> 20 is repeated 3 times in station #5  
  </code></pre>
  <p>So the expected output is similar to the above 2 sentences.</p>
  <p>I am not a regular ( learned ) .js programmer but can adapt the code in main routine running on the system.</p>
  <p>Is there a  way to signal a repeat of temperature for a station and how many times?</p>
  <p>Thanks.</p>
