All oxygen datasets collected during these deployments showed significant drops of oxygen (50-100 mu mol) affecting the data stability of the optode sensors in low hydrodynamic conditions. High correlations between all acquired parameters (temperature, turbidity, speed and direction of currents) verified that no unusual event occurred in the mooring areas during the periods of acquisition, although natural events responsible for such abrupt, short and intense oxygen variations cannot be easily identified. Despite the well-known performance of the Aanderaa optodes, these experiments demonstrate that the data acquired by those installed on RCMI I s cannot be always reliable, especially in low energy systems (typical for the deep ocean), and that current speeds should always be considered in order to verify the reliability of the data recorded.
