Approximately 9% 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).
The speed series contains 4 episodes during which the current
meter's rotorcounter failed. These have been replaced by
predictive interpolations. The interpolated sections are in
