The final data have been obtained from routine procedures 
applied to original values. No discreparncies between data 
from different instruments were observed beyond the 
commonly known limitations. Motions of the moored 
instrument systems (all subsurface) had been monitored by 
means of pressure sensors but pressure changes at the 
uppermost instruments never exceeded 4 dbars.
