Speeds in this record are intermittently spikey and should be
used with caution. Speeds during an interval extending from
0630 14 Aug 90 through 1330 21 Aug 90 should not be used at all.
The anomalies appear to be instrument errors.

The conductivity sensor was offscale during 126 data cycles
scattered throughout the record. These portions of the conductivity
series contain nulls. An extended sequence of high and low values
during 26 Jan 91 through 5 Feb 91 may be due to instrument error.
Use these data with caution. The conductivity sensor was calibrated
indirectly using resistance loops in the cell circuit.

CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of this record in which
many speed spikes and some direction anomalies have been smoothed
by linear interpolation. The weeklong episode of bad speeds
mentioned above has been removed entirely. Both the original file
and the alternate version are available at this site.

Move up one level.
