The third column is a logical vector denoting whether or not the maxima in a given year are assumed to have derived from the same storm event; this assumption is made if the times of obsevation of the maxima are at most 48 hours apart. The row names give the years of observation. There are 39 missing data values. There are only nine non-missing logical values.
