The speed series of this record contains a few spikes that
probably are instrument errors.

Temperature is unreliable and heavily interpolated from about
4 Dec 90 onward.

The pressure sensor malfunctioned throughout; this series is
not useful.

Direction contains some spikes that may be instrument errors.

CMDAC has prepared an alternate file in which speed spikes on
30 Dec 90, 19 Feb 91, and 1 May 91 were removed by linear
interpolation. Spikes in direction on 21 Feb 91 and 30 Mar 91
also were removed. Temperature was truncated on 3 Dec 90. The
pressure series was not included in the alternate version.
Both versions are available at this site.
