Summary
Abstract: Argo is an internationally coordinated project that plans to deploy a global
array of approximately 3000 sub-surface profiling floats in the period
2000-2006. The objectives of Argo are: (1) to provide an enhanced real-time
capability for measurement of temperature and salinity through the upper 2000 m
of the ocean, (2) to provide in situ data component of the Global Ocean Data
