There are some unusual and abrupt direction shifts in this record,
from about 330 degrees to about 90 degrees. This behavior occupies
only a small fraction of the total length of the file, but does
occur on several occasions throughout the record. The direction
series from some other instruments on the mooring behave similarly
at approximately the same times, which suggests that the sudden
veering is genuine.
