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 ...
Some nations, like India and Australia, operate national ocean observing programs. Researchers have mounted observing equipment on ships of opportunity to take measurements. Also, the Argo float system has taken data in the Indian Ocean. What RAMA will contribute is large scale, long term data with high temporal resolution.
The project makes use of Argo float technology to monitor the temperature, salinity, and velocity of the ocean to a depth of 2000 meters. The SOCCOM regional ARGO array is being fitted with biogeochemical sensors to measure additional components such as oxygen, nutrients, pH, chlorophyll, and particulates. [ 3 ]
A float will descend to a predetermined depth where it will be neutrally buoyant. Once a certain amount of time has passed, most floats will rise back to the surface by increasing its buoyancy so it can transmit the data it collected to a satellite. A float can collect data while it is neutrally buoyant or moving through the water column. Often ...
Tidal poles and float gauges were the primary means of sea-level measurement for over 150 years and continue to operate at some locations today. While still part of modern-day tide gauge instrumentation, these technologies have since been superseded by pressure gauges (similar to depth gauges ), acoustic/ultrasonic gauges, and radar gauges.
From January 2008 to May 2009, if you bought shares in companies when Richard C. Perry joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a -38.5 percent return on your investment, compared to a -38.2 percent return from the S&P 500.
A profiling float becomes an Argo float only after it is launched in compliance with the Argo data policy. Just because a float goes up and down in the water column does not make it an Argo float. So please be careful about names. At one time my phrase "profiling float" was changed to "Argo float" that is a profound misconception of the program.
From January 2008 to June 2011, if you bought shares in companies when John R. Brazil joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a 35.1 percent return on your investment, compared to a -12.8 percent return from the S&P 500.
