Nor is it in agreement with the stated depth of the current meter. (But that is true of most of the pressure records from the Vents arrays. CMDAC does not know how the stated depths were arrived at, or whether they are preferable to the depths one obtains from the pressure records. It may, for example, be that the pressure calibrations were not accurate.)
