This record is mostly good, but deteriorates near the end,
from June 91 onward.  The speed series is problemmatical from
the end of June 91 through the middle of July, and then recovers.
Temperature is poor after 2330 18 Jun 91.  Pressure is poor after
1030 14 Jun 91.

CMDAC has prepared an alternate file in which the doubtful
portions of the time series have been removed.  u and v have been
excised in lines 8584 through 8726 (1830 7 Jul 91 - 1630 13 Jul 91).
Two portions of the temperature series have been removed: lines
8134 through 8805 (0030 19 Jun 91 - 2330 16 Jul 91) and a short
portion extending from line 9585 (1130 18 Aug 91) through the end
of the file.  Pressure has been discarded from line 8024 (1030 14
Jun 91) through the end of the file.  Both versions of the file
are available at this site.
