Blowover of this mooring was substantial, apparently due to failure

of some of the buoyancy elements. Blowover was greatest on 30 Mar 91,

when the pressure sensor recorded a value of 1040.8 db (which places

the current meter nearly 800 meters deeper than its nominal depth).

Approximately 17% of the speeds in this record were at or below

the instrument's threshold. These speeds have been set to 1 cm/sec.
