The salinity series contains short gaps on 02/03 Sep 92,
07/08 Nov 92, 15/16 Feb 93, 05 May 93, 26/27 Aug 93, and
04/05 Nov 93. The gaps occur where salinity shows unrealistically
large changes between succesive deployments of the mooring. We
think this may be due to uncalibrated or drifting sensors,
and have not bridged these gaps.
