Speeds are below threshhold for 88 consecutive hours during January 1991. CMDAC believes that this represents a rotorcounter failure rather than low current speeds. CMDAC has prepared an alternate file in which many suspect values (in all parameters) during the second half of the record have been smoothed by linear interpolation. In addition u and v have been excised during the January episode of below-threshhold speeds. Both the original file and the value-added version are available on this disk.
