Quality Rating Code; Possible values are:

| A | Valid data |
| B | Valid data with minor problems |
| C | Invalid data |
|
| sampletype |
Sample Type; The possible values are:
| Flag | Description |
|---|
| W | Wet sample, measurable precipitation (> 0.01 in.) on the rain gauge (RG) or net bottle catch (BC) > 1.5 mL if RG data are missing |
| D | Dry sample - the RG measured a 0 precipitation amount net, or if the RG is missing, the BC < 1.5 mL |
| T | Trace sample, used when the rain gage detects that an unmeasurable amount of precipitation occurred |
| -- | Unknown sample type; Precipitation amount is unknown |
|
| notes | Sample notes flags (see the MDN Sample Condition Notes Codes section of the NADP MDN Weekly Metadata document) |
