Top 40 rivers by annual total nitrogen loads |
Short description |
This dataset reflects spatial distribution of nutrients load and load of selected hazardous substances on the Baltic Sea from land based sources. The data, obtained through national monitoring programmes in 2014, were reported by Contracting Parties to HELCOM in the frame of HELCOM PLC-6 project and collected in the HELCOM Pollution Load Compilation (PLC-water) database (http://apps.nest.su.se/helcom_plus/). The reporting was organized in accordance with the HELCOM Guidelines for the annual and periodical compilation and reporting of waterborne pollution inputs to the Baltic Sea (PLC-Water, http://www.helcom.fi/Lists/Publications/PLC-Water%20Guidelines.pdf). The dataset has been produced based on guidance by HELCOM PRESSURE and REDCORE Drafting Group.
The dataset contains following attributes:
Station code: unique code of the monitoring station
Name: subcatchment name
Latitude: latitude
Longitude: longitude
Source code: unique code of the source
Country: country in the BS catchment area
PLC Basin: Baltic Sea PLC Basin
Year: data year
Flow: flow value
TN: Nitrogen load
TP: Phosphorus load
NormTN: normalized nitrogen load
NormTP: normalized phosphorus load |

Lineage |
The dataset is based on data reported by HELCOM Contracting Parties annually to HELCOM PLC database (http://apps.nest.su.se/helcom_plus/). The tabular data was extracted from the PLC database and spatially referenced and prepared for publication by the HELCOM Secretariat.
The dataset was approved for publication by HELCOM PRESSURE 8-2018 meeting. |
