(1) Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes. (2) See Annex 3 for types of environment.

(3) Duration is the total time of valid measurements for this dataset, expressed as a real number (e.g. 339.888 days). The ratio of duration to the period identified by the start and the end dates of this dataset is the availability (e.g. start=2001/1/1, end=2001/12/31, duration= 339.888 days corresponds to 93.12 % availability).

(4) Submissions should comply with the acceptance criteria specified in Rec. ITU-R P.311.
