Approximately 23% of the speeds in this record were below the

current meter's threshold, and have been set to 1 cm/sec.

The direction series contains a large number of short linear

interpolations, most of them less than a day in length.

The mooring appears to have slipped downslope and settled about

35 meters deeper during a high-speed event at the end of February

1991.
