Approximately 31% of the speeds registered by this current meter

were at or below the instrument's threshold, and have been set to

1 cm/sec.

On 18 Apr 91 pressure decreased suddenly by about 45 db, then

returned to its previous level about 3 weeks later. This decrease

is not correlated with any variations in the pressure record from

the current meter above this one, and appears to be an instrument

error of some kind.

Move up one level.
