The nominal depth of this current meter (the depth provided by
the PI) is 1800 m. However, the minimum pressure recorded by
the instrument, 1923.5 db, corresponds to a depth of about 1901
m. If this pressure is correct, the depths of some of the other
current meters on this mooring should be adjusted accordingly.

The PI's comment for this record is "sticky compass". This
apparently refers to some surprising spikes and shifts in the
direction series. Use these data with caution.
