Dec 19, 2024 · What is Argo? Argo is an international program that collects information from inside the ocean using a fleet of robotic instruments that drift with the ocean currents and move up and down between the surface and a mid-water level. Each instrument (float) spends almost all its life below the surface.

Jul 1, 2024 · Argo, the broad-scale global array of temperature/salinity profiling floats, is a major component of the ocean observing system. The Argo program is an international program that began in 1999 to measure temperature and salinty of the upper 2,000 meters of the global ocean.

Argo is an international programme for researching the ocean. It uses profiling floats to observe temperature , salinity and currents . Recently it has observed bio-optical properties in the Earth's oceans.

OceanOPS provides a global view of the Argo network’s operation and maintains Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to give an indication of the status of the network, against its observing mission and monitors the global national contributions.

Argo is an international program that measures water properties across the world’s ocean using a fleet of robotic instruments that drift with the ocean currents and move up and down between the surface and a mid-water level.

NOAA’s Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program is a leader in the international Argo Program and currently supports new investments to develop floats that can measure the deep ocean and ocean chemistry, helping us better assess ocean health globally.

Dec 11, 2024 · With technological advancements and support for these ocean observations, the Argo Program will add new dimensions to ocean and climate research that improve seasonal to daily forecasts, support disaster preparedness and contribute to climate resilience in communities throughout the nation.

The Argo Program, launched in 1999, is a global array of floating robots that collect information about the physical state of the upper ocean, including temperature and salinity. Argo has passed its initial target of 3000 floats worldwide, with over 3900 floats currently taking measurements.

The broad-scale global array of temperature/salinity profiling floats, known as Argo, is a major component of the ocean observing system. Argo is a standard to which other developing ocean observing systems can look to for ideas as it was designed from the outset to …
