The solid black line shows the expected speed from the acceleration due to gravity. Error bars represent + /−1 sample at a sampling rate of 400 Hz. Three balloon bursts at heights of 11 cm, 12 cm and 14 cm above the top sensor are shown. The legend indicates the various sensor pairs (AB) used for each estimate (dark blue symbols for pairs 1B, red for pairs 2B, green for 3B, pink for 4B and pale blue for 5B). The heights are measured from the bottom of the balloon to the mid-point between each pair. These data are available from the British Oceanographic Data Centre (https://doi.org/10.5285/acd939f0-38e8-57b0-e053-6c86abc0aa19).
