The temperatures in this file are potential, rather than in-situ,
temperatures. (Potential temperature is the temperature that a
water parcel would have if it were moved adiabatically from its
measurement depth to the sea surface.) 

The current meter's speed sensor failed between 22 Oct 91 and
4 Jan 92 (lines 573 through 721). Direction and temperature are
present throughout, however.
