CEFAS's comment about this record's speed series:
This is believed to be a good record, although 25% of all
recorded speeds are at meter threshold. These are present
throughout the series but are especially frequent during
the following two periods:
0330 22 Apr 93 - 2130 03 May 93 (records 1115 to 1397)
1739 06 Mar 94 - 1039 21 Mar 94 (records 8761 to 9114)
However, these times coincide with "quiet" periods in the
series from the meter situated 103 m below; it may be that
the threshold speed of the rotor on this meter is greater
than normal and certainly more than that suggested by the
calibration.
Move up one level.
