Creating Deep Ocean Profiles
We’re deploying deep-ocean profiling floats, or “Deep Argos,” to depths of 4,000-6,000 meters into the Atlantic Ocean, east of Brazil. They're collecting vital temperature and salinity data, which can be used in ocean circulation and climate models. In addition, this project aims to create a proof of concept to increase confidence among funding partners and, in turn, support subsequent deployments at greater scale.*
