Argo a year ago. 500 floats. Regional coverage only.

Argo today floats. Rapid data availability on GTS and WWW. Coverage approaching global, but major gaps.

Argo a year from now floats? Scientific quality data stream. Global coverage. Draft deployment plans for the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Argo data quality control elements Data from floats All good and questionable data Delayed-mode (DM) data stream Function: Provide secondary QC. Produce “best guess” range of adjustments if possible by inspecting series of profiles (hence DM). Provide feedback to RT system. Users: All needing adjusted data with error ests. Timeframe: 6-12 months after transmission. Who/Where: Perform by PIs with DM Centres. Regional Analysis Function: Provide basin-wide synthesis of all float data, float-float intercomparison, reanalysis, etc., so as to produce datasets adequate to study decadal change. Timeframe: Lifespan of float. Who/Where: Perform by Regional Centres. Real-time (RT) data stream Function: Provide primary QC to raw float data. Assign quality flags. No adjustments. Users: Operational centres, data assimilation, researchers needing timely data. Timeframe: hrs after transmission. Who/Where: Perform by National Data Centres. FUTURE * All data can be obtained from the two Argo Global Data Assembly Centres: Coriolis at IFREMER, and USGODAE at Monterey.

Inspect output Argo delayed-mode salinity QC Good + questionable data from RT stream Climatological ests. from WJO Float and climatology agree. No adjustment needed Parameter adjustment fine tuning etc. PI/expert evaluation of divergence. Due to float or to inadequate climatology? Use oceanographic knowledge and supplementary float/ CTD info to decide. Float data and climatology diverge Climatology deficient. Float good within salinity spec. No adjustment needed Climatology good. Suspect sensor drift. Correct by WJO or other method. Issue best- guess adjustment range. Record calibration details Unclear whether divergence Due to climatology or sensor. Cannot correct. May need later reanalysis at regional centre. Good QC’d data With changed calibration

The future of Argo: What will the next generation of Argo look like? How and when will Argo become “operational”? Floats are complex devices that have great potential for revolutionizing our understanding of ocean circulation. This complexity will require the attention of the research community for many years to come.

New sensors: Optical sensors (fluorometers; backscatter; etc.) See Bishop et al. (Nature, 2002) for an example. Dissolved oxygen (at least 2 types) Acoustic sensors (wind, rainfall, etc.) Biological sensors (nutrients, etc) ????? The main limitations to adding new sensors are weight and power requirements. Floats provide an excellent platform for measuring many variables.

ARGO and biogeochemical observing systems

New sensors: dissolved oxygen In a SBE/UW collaboration, a dissolved oxygen sensor for use on profiling floats has been developed and tested. The sensor is a Clark polarographic-type sensor similar to the present generation of SBE oxygen sensors on shipboard systems.

First O 2 optode profiles from floats (Labrador Sea). Two PROVOR floats with Optodes will be deployed next year. (A.Koertzinger, J.Schimanski)

Dissolved oxygen:

UW Float 894 Operating at the HOTS site near Hawaii since 8/2002. Now in operation for over 1 year, 41 profiles. Dissolved O 2 measured using SBE-43 sensor in conjunction with a SBE- 41 CTD unit (Clark cell). Drift over one year is minimal (~0.03 ml/l). Results are promising; some other examples are not so good. [other O 2 sensors are also under development] Float 894 8/27/02 – 11/7/03 41 profiles

Acoustic sensors on profiling floats: Dr. Jeffrey Nystuen’s group at the UW Applied Physics Laboratory has designed and constructed an Acoustic Rain Gauge suitable for use on profilng floats. First deployment: Eastern N. Pacific, along the N. American coast, from the TG Thompson in November FLOAT ENDCAP AND CTD WITH BROADBAND HYDROPHONE

The acoustic rain gauge: Rainfall and wind speed can be measured acoustically using the spectrum of ambient acoustic noise in the ocean. The results at right are from a TAO mooring in the equatorial Pacific (Nystuen, 1999). At moderate wind speeds there is good agreement between wind measured from an anemometer and winds inferred acoustically. [a float can make similar measurements while submerged]
