This record contains just speed and temperature. Approximately 28% of the speeds were at or below the current meter's threshhold (1.86 cm/sec). They have been set to half the threshhold value. The speed series contains two gaps where the meter's rotorcounter appears to have failed. The first extends from 2000 3 May 91 through 0300 11 May 91 (lines 4019 through 4369) and the second extends from 0200 1 Feb 92 through 1600 2 Feb 92 (lines 17135 through 17211).
