Argo

Argo fleet provides long-term systematic observations of the physical and biogeochemical state of the global ocean. Argo data continue to have a remarkable impact on ocean and climate services, predictions and research, enabling ground-breaking developments in understanding ocean ecosystems, forecasting ocean productivity, and constraining the global carbon and energy budgets.

BODC acts as the UK Argo Data Centre and is a crucial UK partner for operational purposes, research and development applications and creating Argo-based products.
