Argo Ocean Float Network
Autonomous floats drift, dive to 2,000 m and report temperature and salinity by satellite; by 2007 about 3,000 floats cover the world's ocean.
Open in the interactive tree →Argo gave the first continuous global view of ocean heat, where most of the extra warmth from greenhouse gases ends up. Its data constrain climate models and the planet's energy imbalance.
