Column A: Code
Code of the test
This code is link 2 and is in column A of
file Test.
The code of the test comprises three components :
* the letter T
* two letters corresponding to the country where the test is planted (AT: Austria, BE: Belgium, DK: Denmark, FR: France, DE: Germany, NL: Netherlands, ES: Spain, GB: United Kingdom)
* a number in sequence given by the institute. Different
participants of the same country hosting tests ( P2
and P3 for Germany, and P7 and
P11 for Danemark) agree on the numbers given.
For example, P2 would number his tests from T-DE-01 to T-DE-10
and P3 from T-DE-11 to T-DE-20.
For example, T-DE-06 would be test 6 established in Germany
Column B: Name
Usual name of the test, or code used by the Institute hosting
the test (same as column B of file Test)
Column C: Institute
Code of the institute hosting the test.
This code is Link3 and is in column C of file
Test.

Indicate compass direction:
Column J: Mean monthly precipitation
Mean monthly precipitation (over the observation period) in
millimeters
Column K : Growing period.
Indicate the months (in numbers, inclusive) of growing period
for which the column K was calculated (for example 4-9)
Column L: Mean monthly temperature
Mean annual temperature calculated over the observation period
(in °C,with one decimal place). calculated over the observation
period
Column M: Mean monthly minimum temperature
in °C, with one decimal place, calculated over the observation
period
Column N Mean monthly maximum temperature
in °C, with one decimal place, calculated over the observation
period
Column O: Mean number of freezing days per year
Number of days per year when freezing occured (calculated over
the observation period)
Column P: Observation period for climatic data
Indicate the dates (inclusive in years) during which climatic
records were taken (example 1951-1991). A period of at least 10
years is recommended
Column Q: Geology
