Oxygen concentration in the South Adriatic Sea: the gliders measurements

In this report we explored the oxygen data recorded by 4 different gliders (2 Slocum SN 402 and 403 and 2 SeaGlider SN SG554 and SG661) in the South Adriatic Pit. A first comparison with other available oxygen data (from floats, CTDs profiles or Winkler samples) in the area evidenced a large difference of the glider oxygen values with respect to the other data. Moreover, a detailed analysis demonstrated that the SeaGlider data seem to overestimate the floats/CTDs/Winkler data, while the Slocum data underestimate them.
