ESSO - Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services

ABOUT THE TALK:

Argo is an international program that calls for the deployment of 3,000 free drifting profiling floats, distributed over the global oceans, which will measure the temperature and salinity in the upper 2,000m of the ocean providing 100,000 T/S profiles and reference velocity measurements per year. This is one of the most successful ocean observational program of past two decades bringing together ~ 25 countries for coordinated deployment, processing, quality control and dissemination. India had become part of this program in 2001 and ever since contributed substantially to measurements in the Northern Indian Ocean. The talk will provide over view of the past, present and future of Indian Argo program.
