The stations are categorized as hydrological (only flow monitoring) and chemical (monitoring of chemical components). The data is reported to the HELCOM database and quality assured by Contracting Parties to HELCOM in accordance with the HELCOM Guidelines for the annual and periodical compilation and reporting of waterborne pollution inputs to the Baltic Sea (PLC-Water Guidelines). Dataset content: Station code (st_code): unique HELCOM PLC code Station name (st_name). River code (r_code): unique HELCOM PLC code. Sub catchment code (subc_code): unique HELCOM PLC code Country code (c_code): DK; EE; FI; DE; LV; LT; PL; RU; SE. Sub-basin code (subb_code): ARC; BAP; BOB; BOS; GUF; GUR; KAT; SOU; WEB. Station category (st_cat): hydrological (H) and chemical (C). Latitude (st_lat). Longitude (st_lon). Reporting year (year). Country codes used in the dataset correspond to: DK-DENMARK; EE-ESTONIA; FI-FINLAND; DE-GERMANY; LV-LATVIA; LT-LITHUANIA; PL-POLAND; RU-RUSSIA; SE-SWEDEN. The Baltic Sea sub-basin codes used in the dataset are: ARC-ARCHIPELAGO SEA; BAP-BALTIC PROPER; BOB-BOTHNIAN BAY; BOS-BOTHNIAN SEA; GUF-GULF OF FINLAND; GUR-GULF OF RIGA; KAT-KATTEGAT; SOU-SOUND; WEB-WESTERN BALTIC.
