The minimum pressure in this record corresponds to a depth about
40 m deeper than the nominal depth. 

The record contains several gaps:

   lines    1 - 1510 (0400 17 Mar 73 - 2200 20 Jul 93) speed, dir, temp
   lines 2684 - 2693 (1800 26 Oct 93 - 1200 27 Oct 93) speed
   lines 3346 - 3378 (2200 20 Dec 93 - 1400 23 Dec 93) speed, dir

CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of the file in which the
gaps during Oct 93 and Dec 93 have been bridged by predictive
interpolation. Both versions are available on this disk.
