It was necessary to terminate temperature and conductivity after only 2831 data cycles, and u and v after 7964 cycles. CMDAC's comment: in spite of these problems the data appear reasonable, although the speed series is slightly noisier than one might wish. The conductivity sensor was calibrated indirectly using resistance loops in the cell circuit.
