  ATLANTIC_PLATEAU_BOG A bog with a flat to undulating surface raised above the surrounding terrain. The bog edges commonly slope steeply downwards to the mineral soil terrain. Large pools scattered on the bog reach depths of 2 to 4 metres.   11
  BASIN_BOG A bog situated in a basin with essentially closed drainage which receives water from precipitation and runoff from the immediate surroundings. The surface of the bog is flat with peat generally deepest at the centre.   12
  BASIN_SWAMP A swamp developed in a topographically defined basin where water derived locally may be augmented by drainage from other parts of the watershed. Accumulation of well-decomposed peat is shallow (< 0,5 metre ) at the edge but may reach 2 metres at the centre.   13
  BLANKET_BOG A bog consisting of extensive peat deposits that occur more or less uniformly over gently sloping hills and valleys.   14
  DOMED_BOG A large bog (diameter usually > 500 metres) with a convex surface rising several metres above the surrounding terrain. The centre usually drains in all directions; small crescentic pools commonly form around the highest point; a concentric pattern is formed if the highest point is in the centre, while an eccentric pattern is formed if the highest point is off-centre. Peat development is usually > 3 metres.   15
  FLAT_BOG A bog having a flat, featureless surface and occurring in broad, poorly defined depressions. The depth of peat is generally uniform.   16
  HORIZONTAL_FEN A fen with a gently sloping, featureless surface. This fen occupies broad, often ill-defined depressions and may interconnect with other fens. Peat accumulation is generally uniform.   17
  LOWLAND_POLYGON_BOG A bog with flat-topped or convex peat surfaces (often referred to as "high-centre polygons") separated by trenches over ice wedges that form a polygonal pattern when viewed from above. The peat was deposited in a permafrost environment as shown by internal structures.   18
  NORTHERN_RIBBED_FEN A fen with parallel, low peat ridges ("strings") alternating with wet hollows or shallow pools, oriented across the major slope at right angles to water movement. The depth of peat is > 1 metre.   19
  PALSA_BOG Palsa bog is a type of peat bog with an ice core, formed adjacent to a mound of soil that was pushed up by or formed near the edge of a glacier; found in alpine and arctic regions.   20
  PEAT_PLATEAU_BOG A bog composed of perennially frozen peat rising abruptly about 1 metre from the surrounding unfrozen fen. The surface is relatively flat and even, and commonly covers large areas. The peat was originally deposited in a non-permafrost environment and is associated in many places with collapse scar bogs or fens.   21
  POLYGONAL_PEAT_PLATEAU_BOG A perennially frozen bog rising approximately 1 metre above the surrounding fen. The surface is relatively flat, scored by a polygonal pattern of trenches that developed over ice wedges. The permafrost and ice wedges developed in peat originally deposited in a non-permafrost environment.   22
  SHALLOW_BASIN A marsh occurring in a uniformly shallow marsh depression or swale, having a gradual gradient from the edge to the deepest portion; the marsh edge may be poorly defined. Water levels fluctuate rapidly.   23
  SHORE_FEN A fen with an anchored surface mat that forms the shore of a pond or lake. The rooting zone is affected by the water of the lake at both normal and flood levels.   24
  SHORE_MARSH A marsh occupying the contact zone between high and low water marks bordering semi-permanent or permanent lakes. The marsh, usually found along protected shorelines, behind barrier beaches in lagoons, on islands, or in embayments, is subject to flooding by a rise in lake levels, wind waves, or surface runoff.   25
  SLOPE_BOG A bog occurring in areas of high rainfall on appreciably sloping land surfaces. The bog is fed by rainwater and by water draining from other nutrient-poor peat lands. The peat may exceed 1 metre in thickness.   26
  SLOPE_FEN A fen occurring mainly on slow-draining, nutrient-enriched seepage slopes. Pools are usually thickness is usually < 2 metres.   27
  STREAM_MARSH A marsh occupying shorelines, bars, stream beds, or islands in continuously flowing marsh is subject to prolonged annual flooding and is commonly covered by thick layers of sediments.   28
  STREAM_SWAMP A swamp occurring along the banks of permanent or semi-permanent streams. The high water table is maintained by the level of water in the stream. The swamp is seasonally inundated with subsequent sediment deposition.   29
  STRING_BOG A pattern of narrow (2 to 3 metres wide), low (< 1 metre high) ridges oriented at right angles to the direction of drainage; wet depressions or pools occur between the ridges. The water and peat are very low in nutrients because the water has been derived from other ombrotrophic wetlands. The peat thickness is > 1 metre.   30
  VENEER_BOG A bog occurring on gently sloping terrain underlain by generally discontinuous permafrost. Although drainage is predominantly below the surface, overland flow occurs in poorly defined drain ways during peak runoff. Peat thickness is usually < 1,5 metres.   31

  RADAR_EQUIPMENT Radar equipment was used in measuring winds information.   15
  RADIO_THEODOLITE A radio theodolite was used to track balloon positions from which winds information was derived.   16
  SATELLITE_NAVIGATION Satellite navigation was used in deriving winds information.   17
  VLF_OMEGA A VLF OMEGA device was used in measuring winds information. For example, some radiosondes use VLF OMEGA for positional information from which winds information is derived.   18
  WIND_PROFILER A wind profiler was used to measure winds information.   19
WIND_SPEED_QUALITY   The quality status of a wind speed.    
  ERRONEOUS The original observation was in error.   11
  GOOD The quality of the observation was acceptable.   12
  NO_CHECK No check on the quality of the observation was performed.   13
  SUSPECT The original observation may be in error.   14
