Accession 1054 contains an unusual 4-hour direction episode
on 27/28 Aug 90 that may be an instrument error. This episode
coincides with a 7-hour segment of speeds that the originator
has linearly interpolated. CMDAC has prepared an alternate file
in which u and v during the 7-hour segment have been replaced by
means of a predictive filter. In addition, three speed spikes
later in the record have been removed (in the alternate version).
The spikes are on 18 sep 90, 5 Feb 91, and 14 Feb 91.  Both
versions of the file are available at this site.
