Data classifications
- Live observation
- Measured continuously and published in near real time. No live feeds are connected yet, so no figure on this site carries this label.
- Latest available
- Most recent figure published by the source for a completed reporting period.
- Estimate
- Modelled or derived by the producing agency from incomplete underlying data.
- Projection
- Forward-looking figure for a period that has not yet been observed. No projections are currently displayed.
