    Clock lost 1 minute 7 seconds over 175 days 19 hours 31 minutes 7  seconds; 
    the original cycle interval and time values have been corrected.  Batteries 
    failed on sensor B+H5 (BODC series reference 47363) near  the  end  of  the 
    deployment  period.  This sensor was much noisier than sensor DQ 3845 (BODC 
    series reference 47375) for the first  10  days  of  deployment.  Drift  on 
    sensor DQ 3845 was small (approximately 12 millibars).
