All of the time series have been low-pass filtered and decimated
to two points per day, by the PIs.  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 first few months of the speed series appear unrealistic.
The speed sensor may have malfunctioned, though CMDAC cannot
determine this from the filtered data. Use this series with
caution.

Move up one level.
