MAFF has provided the following note: The pressure measurements
are in conflict with mooring details (meter situated 620m above
the seafloor in a water depth of 1500m). The mean recorded pressure
suggests a meter depth of about 800m with a maximum of about 1070m.
Such a large "knockdown" is unlikely and it is possible that the
sensor, which was calibrated after recovery of the mooring, is
faulty. The pressure data should be used with caution.

Move up one level.
