ActivityWith 3473 floats the activity indicator for the core Argo array is 108%

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

NetworksFirst deep Argo floats (ARVOR_D, NINJA_D, SOLO_D) are operating

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Density (core)56% of the core array is well (or over) sampled

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Density/Age (core)49% if we consider decimal floats (weighted by their probability to die)

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Density/Age (core)Spatial analysis allows to identify hot/cold spots and highlight gaps.Below 45°S in Indian and Atlantic in particular.

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Member States28 Countries operate floats, and Argo is reaching new record with 3918 active floats.

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Member StatesActually more than 150 additional floats are registered but no data is available yet. Argo has certainly more than 4000 units in the ocean.

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Member States (zoom)France just the 2nd float operator after USA.

Market

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Market« New » float manufacturers (SBE and NKE in particular) keep increasing their market.Iridium (and BioArgo) seem stabilizing

All Deployments (<2015)

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

New Floats (2015)

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

All Deployments (<2016)750 units deployed so far in 2015

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

AgeFloat age distribution (in years)

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Age (inactive floats)All inactive floats deployment locations by age class indicating how long float perform according to their launch location.

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Age (inactive floats)Spatial Analysis

We can try identify cold/hot spots where floats seem surviving shorter (blue - marginal sreas, high latitudes) or longer (red -Karahoa deployments ?)

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Kaharoha’s contribution~20% of the active Argo array is implemented by one NZ ship (charter)

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Age

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

AgeSpatial analysis to detect geographical hot/cold spots. Blue or young zone vs red/old zone.

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Density (SIO)Percentage of the density upon full implementation by Scripps

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Density 6° x 6°For the Global array, southern ocean remains the challenge

ProfilesDelayed mode quality control still remain a challenge (% achived keeps decrfeasing slowly)

JCOMM Observation Programmes Support Centre – Argo Information Centre September 2015

Profiles Quality (Sep. 2015)A quick virew on 2015 3rd quarter profiles quality.90% of profiles produced are « good ».
