Temperature and salinity profile data from globally distributed Argo profiling floats, by week from 2003-03-30 to 2010-09-16 for the Global Argo Data Repository, containing data from 1979-05-15 to 2010-09-22
This collection contains Argo data archived by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) on a weekly basis starting the second quarter of FY 2003. The data may include real-time and/or delayed-mode profiles of ocean temperature and salinity, as well as related conductivity and/or pressure measurements (if any), collected by Argo profiling floats. The US NODC operates the Global Argo Data Repository (GADR) as the long-term archive for the International Global Argo Project.

Supplemental Information | This is a historical collection. More recent data may be found in the Argo Monthly data collection. |
Purpose | To provide a quantitative description of the changing state of the upper ocean and the patterns of ocean climate variability from months to decades, including heat and freshwater storage and transport; to provide data which enhances the value of the Jason altimeters through measurement of subsurface temperature, salinity, and velocity, with sufficient coverage and resolution to permit interpretation of altimetric sea surface height variability; for initializing ocean and coupled ocean-atmosphere forecast models, for data assimilation and for model testing; and to document seasonal to decadal climate variability and to aid our understanding of its predictability. |
