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.
