All of the time series have been low-pass filtered and decimated
to two points per day, by the PI. The filter is described as
having a "40-hour cutoff." CMDAC does not have the original
unfiltered data and was unable to check for instrument errors.

The temperatures in this file are potential, rather than in-situ
temperatures. (Potential temperature is the temperature that
a water parcel would have if it were moved adiabatically from
its measurement depth to the sea surface.) 

The speed and direction sensors appear to have failed during
extensive portions of this record. Gaps are present in both
parameters in lines 122 through 190 (1200 5 Nov 89 - 1200 9 Dec
89), lines 200 through 230 (1200 14 Dec 89 - 1200 29 Dec 89),
and from line 413 through the end of the record (0000 31 Mar
90 onward).
