(1) Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes. (2) This was referring to Rec. ITU-R P.837-1 (In the current version, these zones do not exist). (3) For XPD cancellation, the following options apply: 1: none, 2: static, 3: software. (4) 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). (5) Tilt angle is referred to polarisation tilt angle with respect to the local horizontal plane. (6) Submissions should comply with the acceptance criteria specified in Rec. ITU-R P.311. In particular Rain rate, XPD and attenuation measurements should be strictly concurrent.
