Blowover of this mooring was substantial. (See the comments on

the two current meters above this one on the mooring.)

Approximately 18% of the speeds in this record were at or below

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

There is a 10 day episode of such speeds during 6 Aug - 15 Aug 91.

Move up one level.
