    The tide gauge was trawled up some time after 1345h 19 Nov 1974  and  taken 
    by  a  Danish  fishing vessel to Hirtshals. No timing corrections have been 
    applied. Both thermistor channels failed after 10 days although many values 
    before  this  are  suspect.  No  current meters were deployed at this site, 
    therefore a constant temperature of 7.3degC was assumed.  An  interpolation 
    program  was  used  to  produce hourly values, on the hour, of the pressure 
    record.
