Argo UK - Deployment of 6 Argo float profilers

In the framework of the OCEAN ICE project, six Argo profiling floats were deployed by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in January 2024 in the Amundsen and Ross Seas, in the western sector of the Antarctic shelf seas. The floats provide in situ oceanographic observations distributed through the international Argo programme and accessible through Euro-Argo and the OCEAN ICE data infrastructure.

Dataset
Statement

The dataset consists of in situ oceanographic observations collected by six Argo profiling floats deployed by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) within the OCEAN ICE project during two Antarctic field campaigns in January 2024 and January 2026. The floats were deployed in the Amundsen and Ross Sea sectors of the Antarctic shelf seas. The observations are processed and quality controlled according to Argo procedures and distributed through the international Argo data system. Four of the six floats are additionally distributed through the OCEAN ICE ERDDAP infrastructure. Individual float information and trajectories are available through Euro-Argo Fleet Monitoring.
