CEFAS has expressed doubts about the validity of a portion of
the speed record:

   During the period 1430 21 Aug 93 to 1830 10 Sep 93
   (records 4030 - 4514) 68% of speeds are at the meter
   threshold. Otherwise this appears to be a good record
   and if the 20-day period above is ignored, 6% of
   recorded speeds are at the meter threshold.

CMDAC is unsure whether this episode represents a sensor failure
or valid low speeds. Use these data with caution. 

Move up one level.
