Speed and direction contain a gap in lines 2880 - 2891 (0600
24 Jan 93 - 1700 24 Jan 93). 

All variables contain a gap in lines 3641 - 5089 (2300 24 Feb
93 - 0700 26 Apr 93). 

About 9% of the speeds were below the instrument's threshold
and have been set to the threshold value (1.10 cm/sec). The
directions associated with these speeds have been set to 75.838
degrees. These directions appear to be an artifact of the data
processing; use them with caution. 

CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of this file in which
the short speed and direction gap has been replaced by a predictive
interpolation. Both versions of the file are available on this
disk.
