Comment
The daily and monthly differences with San Diego, San Quintin, and Acapulco hint at anomalously low levels for Cabo San Lucas from December 1986 to August 1989. However, no clear level shifts can be identified in the hourly residuals. Otherwise, the data contain gaps but are of good quality.
