Approximately 13% of the speeds recorded by this meter were below
the instrument's threshold and have been set to 0.93 cm/sec (half
the threshold). 

This instrument's pressure record contains some shifts of register
that indicate that the sensor may have drifted. The depth given
here for the current meter is based on line lengths rather than
the pressure record.
