The Argo observational network consists of a fleet of 3000+ profiling autonomous floats deployed by about a dozen teams worldwide. WHOI has built about 10% of the global fleet. The mission lifetime of each float is about 4 years. During a typical mission, each float reports a profile of the upper ocean every 10 days. The sensors onboard record fundamental physical properties of the ocean: temperature and conductivity (a measure of salinity) as a function of pressure. The depth range of the observed profile depends on the local stratification and the float's mechanical ability to adjust it's buoyancy. The majority of Argo floats report profiles between 1-2 km depth. At each surfacing, measurements of temperature and salinity are relayed back to shore via satellite. Telemetry is usually received every 10 days, but floats at high-latitudes which are iced-over accumulate their data and transmit the entire record the next time satellite contact is established. With current battery technology, the best performing floats last 6+ years and record over 200 profiles.
The U.S. Antarctic Program Data Center (USAP-DC) provides the central Project Catalog for projects funded by the NSF for the U.S. Antarctic Program and Data Repository for multi-disciplinary investigator research datasets derived from these projects. Services provided support investigators in documenting, preserving, and disseminating their research results. All data are openly accessible to the international community for browse, search, and data download. Datasets are registered in the Antarctic Master Directory to comply with the Antarctic Treaty.
