Mooring name:           WHOTS-9
Mooring position:       22.767 deg N, 157.904 deg W
Instrument depth:       2    meters
Seafloor depth:         4668 meters
Times:                  1304 14 Jun 2012 to 0934 14 Jul 2013
Time increment:         30 minutes
Instrument type:        SBE-37 MicroCat

The extreme drop in salinity (about 1.7 psu) registered during
29 and 30 November 2012 does not appear in the data from the
MicroCat just below this one, which was at 15 m. Nor does a
similar anomaly on 5 December 2012, or some other roughness in
the trace near the end of December. Are these real or are they
instrument glitches?
