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.

Blowover of this mooring was substantial. Several large dips in

temperature can be related to blowover (see the pressure record

from the instrument above this one on the mooring). The mooring

appears to have slipped downslope and settled about 35 meters

deeper during a high-speed event at the end of February 1991.

Move up one level.
