Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen profile data from globally distributed Argo profiling floats through the month of December 2021 for the Global Argo Data Repository, 1995-09-07 to 2021-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0244854)

Preview graphic

These data represent all data collected from Argo profiling floats through the current month (December 2021). The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) operates the Global Argo Data Repository (GADR) as the long-term archive for the International Global Argo Project (for additional information about Argo, see https://argo.ucsd.edu/). Argo data have been archived by NCEI on a monthly basis starting the second quarter of FY 2003. These data may include real-time and/or delayed-mode profiles of ocean temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen as well as related conductivity and/or pressure measurements. These data were collected by Argo profiling floats and other profiling float data not directly handled by the Argo data assembly centers. Profiling floats have been deployed since 1995 by several research projects.
