- Argo Information Center
A broad-scale global array of temperature/salinity profiling floats, known as Argo, is forming a major component of the ocean observing system, with deployments that began in 2000 and are ongoing. For the first time, the physical state of the upper ocean will be systematically measured and assimilated in near real-time.
