The speed series of this record contains a large number of spikes
that appear to be instrument errors. CMDAC has prepared an alternate
file in which the data have been smoothed in two steps: First, many
individual speed spikes were removed by linear interpolation. Second,
all of the time series (u, v, and tempterature) were smoothed further
by passing them through a low pass cosine-lanczos filter. This filter
removes completely all frequencies higher than 9.4 cycles per day;
frequencies lower than 6.6 cycles per day are passed unattenuated.
Both the original and alternate versions of the file are available
at this site.
