Blowover of this mooring was substantial. In this record the

greatest depth excursion was at the end of February 91, when

pressure increased by more than 500 db and the pressure sensor

went offscale. Recorded temperatures decreased by about 10 degrees

during this episode. The mooring appears to have slipped downslope

at this time, because the pressures were about 35 db greater

afterward.

Move up one level.
