Quality Assessment
The datum of the pressure measurements is not maintained from one deployment to the next. Depths given are approximate and pressures are relative.
Long-term drift has been removed from the data.
| Period | Comments |
|---|---|
| Nov 1992 - Nov 1993 | Contributor recommends use of pressure channel 1. Possible problems with temperature time series, resulting in questionable fluctuations in pressure channels. |
| Nov 1993 - Nov 1994 | None. |
