Preparing the New Phase of Argo: Technological Developments on Profiling Floats in the NAOS Project
The international array of profiling floats known as Argo is a major component of the global ocean- and climate-observing system. In 2010, the NAOS (Novel Argo Observing System) project was selected as part of France’s Equipex “Investissement d’Avenir” program. The objectives of NAOS were to consoli...
