description: This is a millennial-scale estimate of lake status in relative units. 3 corresponds to LOW: 0-15% of the total altitudinal range of fluctuation, including dry lakes, 2 corresponds to INTERMEDIATE, or 15-70% of the total range, and 1 corresponds to HIGH: 70-100% of the total range of fluctuation, including overflowing lakes. In the original dataset, 0s were labeled uncodable. Here, they have been changed to NA.
