Quality Assessment
Depth given is approximate and pressure is relative. Long term drift has been satisfactorily removed from the data.
The contributor recommends the use of pressure channel 2, which failed on 08 Aug 1996. Pressure channel 1 contains data throughout the deployment but exhibits a large drop in pressure at the start of the deployment. Otherwise the two are very similar.
