1 Introduction The search results explanations of hydrological data Depending on the parameter, the instrumental measuring or visual observation method is used for the hydrological observations. Instrumentally measured results are recorded in a digital format with respective units, but the visual results of the observations are recorded in coded form. Information from data search results are described with codes for these visually observed hydrological parameters: Water object situation; characterization of ice conditions and location; amount of ice; ice width; ice closeness; form of ice; ice development stage. Water object situation Information about water object situation in both winter and summer is described in coded form from hydrological gauge stations, which are located in rivers, lakes and reservoirs. is five-figure combination: Characterization of water object situation Intensity of the phenomenon The first three figures characterize water object situation. Transcript with codes see the table below. The last two figures characterize intensity of phenomenon in water object. To encode intensity of phenomena use numbers: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, which indicate, that observed phenomenon covers respectively 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, un 100% from river width or body of visible water area. If the intensity does not determine, than use 00. The characteristic term of water object situation Ice development and destruction 511 grease ice 512 slush (thin) 512 slush (moderate or thick) 513 border ice in lakes and reservoirs (width less than 100 m) 514 fast ice in lakes and reservoirs (width more than 100 m) 515 shore ice 516 thin ice flow; ice drift in lakes and reservoirs 516 moderate or thick ice flow; ice drift in lakes and reservoirs 517 ice flow; ice from tributary, lake, reservoir 518 ice flow over ice cover 519 thin slush ice run 519 moderate or thick slush ice run 520 anchor ice 521 anchor iceland 522 immersed ice (on coastal shelf after level drop) 523 ice piles on the river bank 524 ice closing dike in the gauge cross-sections LEGMC The searching results explanations of hydrological data 1
