 There was a similar problem with wind speed. The graph showed wind speed always below 7 m/s, yet the summary data showed wind speed consistently significantly above that for as far back as March (barring the holes in my data). Sol 169, for example, has maximum wind speed at 15.5 m/s. There was a similar problem with wind speed.

-To put this in perspective, when wind reaches 64 km/hit is strong enough to pick up dust and move it around - a dust storm. 64 km/h evaluates to 17.78 m/s.+To put this in perspective, when wind reaches 64 km/h it is strong enough to pick up dust and move it around - a dust storm. 64 km/h evaluates to 17.78 m/s.
  
 Now as far as the wind is concerned, it could well be that gusts set the maximum, yet the graphs smoothed that out. The graphs have 1 plot point per hour, and that plot point is probably an average for that period. Now as far as the wind is concerned, it could well be that gusts set the maximum, yet the graphs smoothed that out.
