The gaps occur where salinity shows an unrealistically large increase or decrease between succesive deployments of the mooring. We think this may be due to uncalibrated or drifting sensors. There is a longer gap in lines 6041 - 8499 (1900 04 Nov 92 - 0500 15 Feb 93), caused by a sensor failure. Salinity ends early at line 14698 (1200 31 Oct 93).
