The minimum recorded pressure corresponds to a depth about 67
m deeper than the given nominal depth. 

Speed and direction contain 3 gaps:

   lines  385 -  547 (0359 18 Apr 93 - 1559 01 May 93)
   lines 2643 - 4070 (0759 23 Oct 93 - 0559 19 Feb 94)
   lines 4578 - 4597 (1359 02 Apr 94 - 0359 04 Apr 94)

The first two gaps are too large to bridge, but CMDAC has prepared
an alternate version of the file in which the third gap has been
bridged by predictive interpolation. Both versions are available
on this disk.
