The speed series in this record is not particularly good.

Approximately 28% of the speeds were at or below the instrument's

threshold, and have been set to 1 cm/sec. The speed series also

contains a large number of short interpolations to replace bad

data. Most of the interpolations are a quarter to a half day in

length.

Blowover of this mooring was substantial. Several large dips in

temperature can be related to blowover (see the pressure record

from the top instrument 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.
