This record's pressure series ends early, at line 1740 (2359
7 Aug 93). The minimum recorded pressure corresponds to a depth
about 40 m deeper than the given depth. 

The file contains several gaps:

   lines 3055 - 3230 (1359 25 Nov 93 - 0359 10 Dec 93) speed & direction
   lines 3507 - 3515 (0559 02 Jan 94 - 2159 02 Jan 94) speed & direction
   lines 3600 - 3823 (2359 09 Jan 94 - 1359 28 Jan 94) speed only
   lines 3913 - 4003 (0159 04 Feb 94 - 1359 12 Feb 94) speed only

CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of the file in which
the shortest of the gaps (lines 3507 - 3515) has been bridged
by predictive interpolation.  Both versions are available on
this disk.
