Biogeochemical Argo (or BGC-ARGO): An extension of the Argo program to include biogeochemical observations

The goal of Biogeochemical (BGC) Argo is to expand Argo Program capabilities to measure six additional biogeochemical parameters in the upper two kilometers of the ocean.

Jun 13, 2024 · GO-BGC will deploy 500 autonomous floats in the world’s oceans between 2021 and 2026 as part of the OneArgo array. GO-BGC data are made freely available through our Data page and the Argo data system.

What is BioGeoChemical Argo? Biogeochemical-Argo (BGC-Argo) is the extension of the Argo array of profiling floats to include floats that are equipped with biogeochemical sensors for pH, oxygen, nitrate, chlorophyll, suspended particles, and downwelling irradiance.

Jan 23, 2024 · AOML’s Biogeochemical-Argo Program is using robotic ocean floats to collect unparalleled observations across the open Gulf of America, a previously under-observed region.

The Biogeochemical (BGC) Argo array has grown over the early 21st century, and its planned expansion will soon generate ocean interior carbon, oxygen, nutrient, and optical data with near-global coverage.

SOCCOM researchers are actively involved in efforts to develop a global biogeochemical observing system of ~1000 Argo floats equipped with SOCCOM-type biogeochemical sensors.

Currently, 16 nations are involved in the BGC-Argo program. We now are entering into an exciting and challenging part of the program with the emergence of the OneArgo concept (Roemmich et al, 2019) and the extension of the historical Argo network toward deep and …

This toolbox contains a variety of functions for accessing, processing, and visualizing Biogeochemical Argo data. Functions are designed to be maximally efficient, to provide access to the most up-...
