Notes to Table I-2:
(1) Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes.
(2) Terrain type (see Annex.3).
(3) Polarization linear (L) or Circular (C). Polarization tilt angle is 0 for horizontal and 90 for vertical. For RHCP enter +45 and for
LHCP enter –45°.
(4) The grazing angle  is defined for specular reflection from the “average terrain profile” under normal atmospheric conditions
(k 4/3).
(5) The average path clearance is defined at path height for k   above the “average terrain profile” at mid-path h (k). hob is
the path clearance of the most dominant obstacle for (k  4/3) and dob is the distance from the transmitter to the most dominant
obstacle.
(6) Path profile roughness s1 is defined as the r.ms. value of the path profile heights referred to the path mean height, using for both,
mean and r.ms. calculations sample distances of 1 and 0.5 km, excluding 1 km at the terminals. s2 is defined similar to s1, but
using path profile slopes instead of heights.
(7) The path inclination p is defined as the angle between the path and a flat Earth.
(8) The average terrain slope t is defined as the angle between the regression line through the path profile samples at 1 km
intervals (“average terrain profile”), with 1 km intervals excluded at terminals (k  ).
(9) Tail points (A1 (dB), p1; A2 (dB), p1/10): The “tail” is the relatively straight portion of the worst-month cumulative distribution
for large fade depths, as plotted on a semi-logarithmic scale. Two points are defined on the tail. The first point ( A1 p1)
corresponds to the highest possible value of probability within the tail; the second point (A2 p1/10) corresponds to a point on the
tail at a probability one decade lower than p1
(10) 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).
(11) Submissions should comply with the acceptance criteria specified in Rec. ITU-R P.311.
