Notes.

(a)

Velocities are relative to a systemic redshift of z = 0.034397 (Fisher et al. 1995).

(b)

Mean transmission in the given absorption trough in the COS 2012 spectrum.

(c)

Mean fractional difference between COS 2012 and FUSE 2000 troughs normalized by the mean transmission for COS 2012.

(d)

Mean fractional error in the difference between the COS 2012 and FUSE 2000 troughs normalized by the mean transmission for COS 2012.

(e)

Mean fractional difference between the COS 2012 and FUSE 2000 troughs normalized by the error.
