The pressure series ends early at line 2526 (0000 17 Oct 93).
the minimum recorded pressure corresponds to a depth about
114 m deeper than the given nominal depth. 

Speed and direction contain 4 short gaps:

   lines 1490 - 1493 (1000 19 Jul 93 - 1600 19 Jul 93)
   lines 1771 - 1794 (2200 11 Aug 93 - 1800 13 Aug 93)
   lines 2040 - 2045 (0600 03 Sep 93 - 1600 03 Sep 93)
   lines 4490 - 4499 (1000 26 Mar 94 - 0400 27 Mar 94)

CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of the file in which
the gaps have been bridged by predictive interpolations. Both
versions are available on this disk.
