The distribution of active floats in the Argo array, colour coded by country that owns the float, as of February 2018. 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.
The ship is part of the International Argo Project, a float deployment scheme focussed on climate and oceanic data, [19] as well as the Global Drifter Program. [20] The ship has deployed Argo floats since 2014, concentrating on getting the floats to areas with low maritime traffic in the Southern Hemisphere, sailing 79,996 nautical miles as ...
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 ...
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 ...
It was also known [when?] as the Argo Plain; another suggested [by whom?] name is the Argo Abyssal Plain. It was discovered by the U.S. research vessel "Argo" of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1960. [1] It should be distinguished from an Australian sedimentary basin with the same name.

Chronic Wasting Disease Identified in British Columbia Deer Carcasses Four deer carcasses with chronic wasting disease (CWD), also known as zombie deer disease, have been identified in British ...
Scientists thought that Lake Enigma was frozen from top to bottom. Then they discovered that water—and mysterious lifeforms—existed 11 meters below the surface.
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]
