This record contains many linear interpolations in all variables.
After May 1994 the interpolations are increasingly long and increasingly
unrealistic. CMDAC recommends that those portions of the record be used
with caution if at all, and has prepared an alternate version of the
file in which some of the shorter linear interpolations have been replaced
with predictive interpolations, and some of the longer failures have been
excised entirely. Both the original and alternate versions of the file
are available on this disk.

The pressures recorded by this instrument correspond to a depth
somewhat shallower than the stated 311 m.
