ARGO (Array for Real-time Geostrophic Oceanography)

ARGO is a global network of over 4,000 floating sensors that drift with ocean currents, collecting vital data on temperature, salinity, and water movement. These sensors periodically dive deep into the ocean, then surface to transmit data via satellites. This continuous flow of information helps scientists monitor ocean conditions in real time, improving understanding of climate change, weather patterns, and marine ecosystems. ARGO's comprehensive coverage and reliable measurements make it a crucial tool for advancing ocean science and informing environmental policies worldwide.
