Argo DE - Deployment of 4 Argo float profilers

In the framework of the OCEAN ICE project, four Argo profiling floats were deployed by the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in the eastern sector of the Antarctic shelf seas, in the region of the Amery Ice Shelf. The floats provide in situ oceanographic observations, including water temperature and salinity. The observations are processed and quality controlled according to Argo procedures and distributed through the international Argo data system. The corresponding observations are additionally accessible through the OCEAN ICE ERDDAP infrastructure, while information on the individual floats is available through Euro-Argo Fleet Monitoring.

Dataset
Statement

The dataset consists of in situ oceanographic observations collected by four Argo profiling floats deployed by the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) within the OCEAN ICE project in January 2024. The floats were deployed in the eastern sector of the Antarctic shelf seas, in the region of the Amery Ice Shelf. The observations are processed and quality controlled according to Argo procedures and distributed through the international Argo data system. OCEAN ICE additionally provides access to the corresponding observations through its ERDDAP infrastructure. Individual float information and trajectories are available through Euro-Argo Fleet Monitoring.
