 | The Southampton Oceanography Centre and the earlier UK laboratories involved with deep sea oceanography (The National Institute of Oceanography - 1953-72 and the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences 1972 to 1996) have been involved in the development and use of neutrally buoyant floats for scientific research (more info). |
| Argo is a key element of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and the wider Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) that provide operational support through a global system for observations, modelling and analysis of climate variables. |
| Argo is co-sponsored by the Global Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) which aims to demonstrate the feasibility of routine, real-time, global ocean data assimilation and prediction and by CLIVAR - the World Climate Research Programme's project on Climate Variability and Predictability looking at natural variability and anthropogenic climate change. |
