The speed sensor of this current meter failed during a 7-day
period in September 1995 (lines 2628 - 2787, 0100 16 Sep 95 through
1600 22 Sep 95). The PIs have replaced this segment of the speed
series with a linear interpolation. The speed series also contains
a short below-threshold episode (lines 5136 - 5147, 1300 29 Dec 95
through 0000 30 Dec 95) that has the appearance of a rotorcounter
failure. Speed is somewhat spikey during the final few days of the
record. 

CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of the file in which
the long linear interpolation has been replaced by a predictive
interpolation, as has the (apparent) rotorcounter failure. Several
speed spikes in the last few days of the record have been replaced
by linear interpolations. Both the original version of the file
and the alternate file are available on this disk.
