Blowover of this mooring was substantial. (See the comments on
the two current meters above this one on the mooring.) 

Approximately 18% of the speeds in this record were at or below
the instrument's threshold. These speeds have been set to 1
cm/sec. There is a 10 day episode of such speeds during 6 Aug
- 15 Aug 91.
