WHOI Argo Program

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.

UTM-CSIC Data Centre

The UTM Data Centre is responsible for managing spatial data acquired during oceanographic cruises on board CSIC research vessels (RV Sarmiento de Gamboa, RV García del Cid) and RV Hespérides. The aim is, on the one hand, to disseminate which data exist and where, how and when they have been acquired. And on the other hand, to provide access to as much of the interoperable data as possible, following the FAIR principles, so that they can be used and reused. For this purpose, the UTM has a Spatial Data Infrastructure at a national level that consists of several services: Oceanographic Cruise and Data Catalogue Including metadata from more than 600 cruises carried out since 1991, with links to documentation associated to the cruise, navigation maps and datasets Geoportal Geospatial data mapping interface Underway Plot & QC Visualization, Quality Control and conversion to standard format of meteorological data and temperature and salinity of surface water At an international level, the UTM is a National Oceanographic Data Centre (NODC) of the Distributed European Marine Data Infrastructure SeaDataNet, to which the UTM provides metadata published in the Cruise Summary Report Catalog and in the data catalog Common Data Index Catalog, as well as public data to be shared.
