MAFF has noted that speeds in this record were at or near threshhold
in three places:
lines 2131 through 2830 (0537 01 Oct 88 through 0837 30 Oct 88)
lines 3747 through 3798 (1337 07 Dec 88 through 1637 09 Dec 88)
lines 4429 through 8171 (2337 04 Jan 88 through the end of the record)
These episodes almost certainly are due to a sensor malfunction and
have not been included here. Direction is available for the entire
deployment, however - although it looks artificial in many places.
This is not a good record.
