This version was copied from ANTS. It is a slightly extended version

that was used for the IEEE abstract. It works for the P403 YOYO, most

stations of the DIMES US2 Drake-passage section, and several of the

early DIMES UK2 grid stations.

This version attempts to determine the optimal lag for each LADCP

ensemble, allowing only a moderate number of time jumps. This behavior

is intended to allow processing of CTD files with dropped records. The

problem is that the data near the surface are noisy and can throw the

lagging algorithm off whack. Sometimes the problem can be solved by

slightly adjusting the initial guess lag. Sometimes the problem can be

solved by using -m to limit the allowed magnitude of the vertical

velocities. Overall, I think that the code is buggy. It could probably

be improved by skipping early CTD time jumps if they are too large to be

realistic. However, after having applied this version to several

different data sets, it appears that skipped CTD records are not all

that common. Therefore, I will continue development with a simpler

version that does not allow for skipped CTD records.
