Additional information stored with the data:
Clock lost 1 minute 7 seconds over 175 days 19 hours 31 minutes 7 seconds;
the original cycle interval and time values have been corrected. Batteries
failed on sensor B+H5 (BODC series reference 47363) near the end of the
deployment period. This sensor was much noisier than sensor DQ 3845 (BODC
series reference 47375) for the first 10 days of deployment. Drift on
sensor DQ 3845 was small (approximately 12 millibars).
