Additional information stored with the data:
Station A3, North Atlantic.
Sampling was every 30 minutes, alternate pressure and temperature readings.
For temperature correction, temperature was calculated as a mean of the two
adjacent temperatures for each pressure frequency. Clock gained 42 seconds
over 137 days, 17.5 hours; the cycle interval and time values have been
corrected.
