As with many of the other RCM8s used in this experiment, the
pressure sensor appears to have been affected by temperature.
For most of the record the pressure trace follows the temperature
trace closely.  CMDAC believes that while the mean pressure may
be correct, the variations are due to temperature rather than
pressure. Use these data with caution. 

The speed series has a gap in lines 5943 - 6080 (0500 25 Jul 93 -
2200 30 Jul 93) due to an apparent rotorcounter failure. 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.
