As with many of the other RCM8s used in this experiment, the
pressure sensor appears to have been affected by temperature.
For most of the record the pressure trace follows the temperature
trace closely. CMDAC believes that while the mean pressure may
be correct, the variations are due to temperature rather than
pressure. Use these data with caution.
