      press_bar     barometric pressure
      radiation_s   shortwave radiation

<p>

Note: I have been delayed in getting this data on-line because I am
not happy with my "corrected" wind (with ships motion removed) and,
I am still not comfortable with posting the corrected wind so I
have added a comment on the fact that it is questionable. I have notified
the OCEANUS SSSG people about this problem. In the meantime I suggest
that any one interested in wind for these periods use the NOAA buoy
winds instead.
