With its Argo profilers capable of diving to 6,000 meters, Ifremer takes the pulse of the ocean down to the abyss The first two Argo Deep-6000 float prototypes, developed by Ifremer, have successfully completed their first autonomous dives in the open sea, north of the Antilles. Since January 11, each of the two ...

👏 2 #Argo Deep-6,000 float prototypes from EA ERIC 🇫🇷 member @ifremer.bsky.social have completed their 1st autonomous dives! Argo 🇫🇷 expects 30 Deep-6,000 floats by 2028.
A significant step in the expansion of the 🇪🇺 Euro-Argo Deep array, which comprises 53 floats.

🌊 The 2nd BGC-Argo DMQC Workshop is underway at @imev-mer.fr !

The workshop brings together ~60 participants and aims to foster capacity building for BGC-Argo data management in a relaxed and collaborative atmosphere.

Thanks to @euro-argo.eu for his financial support.

#OneArgo #Argofloat

We are proud to support the move toward #OneArgo: deep, biogeochemical and polar observations for a changing ocean. 🌍

The Euro-Argo ERIC Office team sends you their best wishes for the new year! ✨
We are proud of our achievements alongside you in 2025. Let’s continue moving forward together in 2026 to further consolidate Europe's leadership in global ocean monitoring. 🌊

Danielle Wright presenting updates on new Argo vocabulary changes in the NERC Vocabulary Service (NVS) at #ADMT26, hosted by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution — helping keep Argo terms consistent, current, and interoperable.
#Argo #ADMT #NVS

Today marks the end of #ADMT26, the annual Argo Data Management Team Meeting, hosted by @whoi.edu in Woods Hole, MA 🇺🇸. This major event brings together Argo teams from around the world to discuss Argo data management. 🤝 A key moment for the global #Argo programme!

#OneArgo #Argofloats #Oceanscience

Kamila Walicka and Matt McCormack are presenting the Argo metadata validator tool for checking the consistency of JSON metadata with the NVS Argo schema, crucial for improving consistency and reliability of Argo metadata.
#Argo #ADMT26 @ukargo.bsky.social

Brian King is presenting at #ADMT26 @whoi.edu on new advances in #argofloats metadata management — helping Argo DACs shift toward machine-readable JSON schema for smoother automation, validation, and long-term interoperability across the Argo ecosystem.

James Clare presenting the new Argo Community Toolbox API. This has been built to improve the ease of use for both the Coriolis Argo Data Processing Chain and the Argo NETCDF File Format Checker.

Huge thank you and congratulations to Jon Turton as he retires from the UK Met Office!

His dedication and hard work on the UK Argo programme for over 25 years have been truly remarkable. His commitment and expertise have made a great contribution to the global Argo array.

Day 3 of the #ADMT26 meeting at @whoi.edu is in full swing!

We dove deep into critical updates from the #BGC Argo mission, covering #OneArgo sensor frameworks for new sensors and mission parameters, documentation and procedures updates, and a review of the #BGC Argo products!
