The World Ocean Database Project is the largest database for temperature profiles from all of the world’s oceans. [29] A small test fleet of deep Argo floats aims to extend the measurement capability down to about 6000 meters. It will accurately sample temperature for a majority of the ocean volume once it is in full use. [30] [31]
