Approximately 38% of the speeds recorded by this current meter
were at or below the instrument's threshold (1.5 cm/sec) and
have been set to the threshold value. 

The minimum pressure registered by this instrument (3362 db)
corresponds to a depth of about 3312 m, which is significantly
deeper than the stated depth of 3200 m.
