Experiment name: AWI Antarctic moorings Principal Investigator: E.Fahrbach Affiliation: Alfred Wegener Inst.

These are instances in which the speed rotor's turn count has exceeded 1023 and has reset to 0, thus registering as a much lower speed than it should. Wrap arounds are quite hard to identify in a record with a 3-hour interval, and we have not attempted to do so in this case. Use this speed record with caution.
