A user who wants to explore Argo data but lacks programming skills might like to download the Argo Global Marine Atlas [14] which is an easy-to-use utility that allows the creation of products based on Argo data such as the salinity section shown above, but also horizontal maps of ocean properties, time series at any location etc. This Atlas ...
Roemmich in 2017, speaking on the RV Tangaroa in New Zealand. Dean Roemmich (/ ˈ r ɛ m ɪ k / REM-ik [1]) is a contemporary American physical oceanographer.. Roemmich was the early leader behind the sensors array Argo which continuously and globally measures vertical profiles of oceanic conditions, chiefly temperature and salinity.
Let's review: You reverted my first edit with a somewhat rude edit summary. You described this revert as correcting an error, but it does not. The text which this edit "corrects" does not say that all profiling floats are Argo floats but rather that the Argo array is made up of Argo floats. Furthermore, it now reads like lawyer-speak.
The original Argo, used to find Titanic, was 15 feet (4.6 m)long, 3.5 feet (1.1 m) tall, and 3.5 feet (1.1 m) wide and weighed about 4,000 pounds (1,800 kg) in air. It had an array of cameras looking forward and down, as well as strobes and incandescent lighting to illuminate the ocean floor.
American oceanographer Robert Ballard, working with the French Research Institute for the Exploitation of the Sea, developed a submersible vessel called the Argo that could travel down 13,000 feet ...
It was used on expeditions such as Project FAMOUS (French-American Mid Ocean Undersea Study 1973–1974), the Discovery expedition with Argo to survey the wreckage of the Titanic. [3] (1985), and again in the return mission to the Titanic (1986). ANGUS was the only ROV used on both dives to the Titanic.
Improvements in ocean platforms, including increased capabilities for Argo floats improved glider technology and mooring technology. New development in ocean sensors and systems, including improved bio-fouling protection, autonomous water sampling systems, optical and acoustic systems, airborne variable sensors, and two-way, low-cost, low-power ...
The CORA dataset is designed for operational oceanography, so most global real time monitoring networks are plugged into this database. The data sources are the following: ARGO (autonomous drifting profilers) The global network of moored buoys comprising the TAO/TRITON, [4] PIRATA and RAMA arrays; EGO (underwater gliders)
