    Clock gained 25 seconds over 34 days, 18.5 hours; the  cycle  interval  and 
    time  values  have  been  corrected.  An  interpolation program was used to 
    produce hourly values, on the hour, of the pressure record.

           To convert pressure to elevation the following                       
           values should be used:

    Complete record of sphere temperature but sea temperature circuit failed on 
    deployment.  Temperature record was taken from bottom mounted current meter 
    and used for correction of frequency record.
