About 43% of the speeds were below the instrument's threshold
and have been set to zero.

There is a sharp and anomalous 1.93 db decrease in pressure
on 4 Feb 2004. The record from the instrument above this one
shows a 1.33 db decrease at the same time, but this change is
not apparent in the data from any of the other instruments
on the mooring.
