Those with coefficients greater than O.lmb/OC must be used<br />

a Either an efficient clock routine or a clock with a low temperature<br />

coefficient (less than 1 lo-'/ C, -40+O0C) must be used with daily<br />

clock corrections.<br />

If 0.1 mb accwlacy is desired,<br />

0 Temperature compensation <strong>of</strong> barometers must be used, and buoy hulls must<br />

be insulated if temperature coefficients are greater than 0.01 mb/OC.<br />

0 An efficient clock correction routine must be used.<br />

These criteria are subjective and somewhat arbitrary, and they should be<br />

used with that in mind. It is hoped that they will provide a framework from<br />

which to consider design alternatives.<br />
