If you are an autonomous vehicle, you never know what could be floating on the surface. From algal blooms to oil spills, the sea surface is the most likely place you’re going to find something to gum up your sensors. For autonomous systems like the global Argo...
Before the ocean robots of BGC-Argo adopted biogeochemical sensors, scientists leveraged the same instruments on shipboard and moored platforms (and still do today!). Just as the modern Argo CTD is based on traditional shipboard CTD designs, the sensors that power...
Did you know that the first profiling floats lacked CTDs? Before Argo, ALACE floats (Autonomous Lagrangian Circulation Explorer) dutifully traced ocean currents: they sank, drifted, rose, then pinged a satellite with their new location. These provided undeniably...
