The minimum recorded pressure corresponds to a depth about
160 m deeper than the nominal depth. 

Speed and direction contain 3 gaps:

   lines 1556 - 1572 (1300 27 Sep 93 - 1300 29 Sep 93)
   lines 1581 - 1599 (1600 30 Sep 93 - 2200 02 Oct 93)
   lines 2661 - 2688 (1600 12 Feb 94 - 0100 16 Feb 94)

CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of the file in which
these gaps have been bridged by predictive interpolation. Both
versions are available on this disk.
