Near-surface bins from this instrument contain a relatively high
percentage of poor returns. CMDAC has discarded bins shallower
than 15 meters and has prepared alternate versions of files from
several other bins. The present file contains a number of spikes
and other artifacts caused by transmissions in which no good
reflections were counted. We have prepared an alternate version
of the file, in which a number of questionable episodes have
been bridged by linear or predictive interpolation. Both versions
of this current record are available here.
