Additional information stored with the data:
I.O.S. Data Processing of Off-Shore Pressure Recorder Data 2
1. Because the pressure is integrated over 890 seconds and then logged, the
time value assigned to a data cycle has been chosen as the mid-point
between the start and end of each integration period.
2. Instrumental drift and depth have been removed, thus a drift free series
is produced with an artificial mean value.
--------------------
Clock lost 1 minute 53 seconds over 29 days 9 hours 1 minute 53 seconds;
the cycle interval and time values have been corrected.
