Note: 



' Accuracy of individual current speed readings is ±0.05 

 knots, but the instrument can be read to ±0.01 knots. This, 

 in conjunction with the process of vector summation, allows 

 speeds to be reported to the nearest 0.01 knot, although the 

 accuracy is not increased. 



ti The resolution on both the vane and compass for Indi- 

 vidual directional observations is 2.8°.
