This record contains a number of isolated points where speed
has been set to the threshold value, 2.2 cm/sec. These points
appear to represent rotorcounter failures. CMDAC has prepared
an alternate version of the file in which those speeds have
been replaced by linear interpolations. Both the original and
alternate versions of the file are available on this disk. 

The average pressure, 266 db, corresponds to a depth significantly
shallower than the stated depth of this meter (330 m).
