Speed and direction contain a gap in lines 3275 - 3568
(0900 2 Apr 92 - 1400 14 Apr 92). 

There are indications from the pressure record of this instrument
and the record from the current meter below it on the mooring that
the instrument's depth initially may have been greater than the
given 371m, and may have decreased with time - possibly because
of line stretch.
