What is Argo Project?
Argo program is a global array of free-drifting profiling floats designed to measure the temperature and salinity of the upper 2000 m of the ocean.
The data collected by this project will provide continuous global monitoring of the temperature, salinity, and velocity of the upper ocean. All the data are being relayed and made publicly available within hours after collection.
