The temperature series of this record is unusually spikey. MAFF
notes an "encoder fault, giving bad pulse quality" for the record.
This fault probably was responsible for MAFF's decision to terminate
the record after only 53 days. It may also explain the the spikey
temperatures. Use these temperatures with caution.
