There are many, many linear interpolations in speed and direction,

some of them quite long - apparently to remove bad data. A low-pass

filtered version of this file would be more useful than the original.

About 15% of the speeds were below the instrument's threshold, and

have been set to 1 cm/sec.

Move up one level.
