Keeping An Eye On Earth’s Oceans With Argo Robots

“Keeping An Eye On Earth’s Oceans With Argo Robots,” highlights GOMO-funded technology and describes the technology, applications, and developments of Argo floats, a major component of the Global Ocean Observing System, and provides a kid-friendly introduction to topics like ocean observing and climate change. The article features colorful diagrams and infographics that illustrate Argo float anatomy and explain how Argo data are used to inform ocean and climate forecasting, adaptation, policy and management. Students are also invited to track their own float with the Adopt a Float program, a free educational program allowing classes to explore the ocean by following the progress of their float and accessing its data, or to learn more through resources like the Argo Online School and Ocean Observers platform.
