Description: Argo is a global network of more than 3000 free-drifting robots that measure temperature and salinity of the upper 2000 m of the ocean. This allows, for the first time, continuous monitoring of the temperature, salinity, and velocity of the upper ocean, with all data being sent to satellites passing overhead and then made publicly available within hours after collection.Main Benefits: - Improve Ocean and Climate forecasting - Understand ocean-atmosphere interactions - Predict seasonal to decadal climate variabilityArgo improves maps of the distribution of the heat energy in the ocean and, as a consequence, improves forecasting of the development (track and intensity) of sever weather systems. Sever weather systems are driven by convection and the transfer of water vapour from the ocean to the atmosphere. Hurricanes (e.g. Katrina, Gulf of Mexico) gain strength when passing over positive temperature anomaly areas and decay over low temperature anomaly regions. Argo, an old dream of oceanographers, is becoming the ocean's climate warning system for the benefits of humankind.
