For users interested in using the official Argo NetCDF files, the GDACs should be the route to access Argo data. Both GDACs offer access to the complete Argo data collection as managed by the Argo Data Management Team, including float metadata, detailed trajectory data, profile data and technical data all in NetCDF format.  It is important to understand the naming system of the files as well as the variable names and quality control flags within each data file. See the ADMT Documentation page for the Argo User’s Manual and the Argo quality control manual for more information.
