Quality A number of data points are marked with '9999', which indicates that no data were collected. The 9999 entries have been inserted to make up a complete day at the beginning and the end of the dataset (this ensures that there are 288 samples per day). There are also 9999 entries at certain points in the file - these are when no samples were taken for one reason or another (such as equipment failure etc...). For example, there are a number of '9999' points around mid-winter, when equipment problems were encountered.
