Problems

Some problems were encountered with these datasets:

• mooring 1 was never found
• clock drift was observed in the VACM data upon recovery.  This is thought to be caused by temperature-dependence of the clock circuitry.  An attempt was made to correct for this effect by applying a linear adjustment to the recorded times. 
• the quantitative pressure results are dubious - in some cases the uncorrected data show the sensors to be well above the sea surface!  Attempts were made to calculate a corrected quantitative pressure (column 9 in the VACM data files) by using VACM measurements made at the sea surface at the start and end of each deployment.   The qualitative trends are expected to be accurate.
