Description of types that have been intercalibrated
| Type | Lake characterisation | Altitude (m above sea level) | Mean depth (m) | Alkalinity (meq/l) | Lake size (km2) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L-AL3 | Lowland or mid-altitude, deep, moderate to high alkalinity (alpine influence), large | 50 — 800 | > 15 | > 1 | > 0,5 |
| L-AL4 | Mid-altitude, shallow, moderate to high alkalinity (alpine influence), large | 200 — 800 | 3 — 15 | > 1 | > 0,5 |
