The minimum recorded pressure corresponds to a depth about 50
m deeper than the nominal depth. 

Speed and direction contain a gap in lines 867 - 916
(0759 28 May 93 - 0959 1 Jun 93). CMDAC has prepared an alternate
version of the file in which the gap has been bridged by predictive
interpolation. Both versions are available on this disk.
