The initial 216.6 days of speed and direction were not credible
and have been removed. The first good speed is at line 10396
(0700 08 Nov 1987). Of the remaining speeds, about 21% were at
or below the instrument's threshold and have been recorded as 1.5
cm/sec (the threshold value). We believe this file was pieced
together from two distinct records made at the same depth, the
first of which ran from 5 Apr 1987 to 7 Nov 1987, and the second
from 8 Nov 1987 to 31 Oct 1988. The second current meter was an
Aanderaa RCM which provided good data and the first was some
other type of instrument whose temperatures were reasonable
(and have been retained) but whose speed and direction were
extremely noisy and of little value.
