NorArgo is an ocean observing system for the Arctic that monitor, in near real-time, essential physical and ecosystem variables. It will operate an array of ~30 autonomous vertical profiling floats, Argo floats, that will carry various sensors (pressure, temperature, salinity, oxygen, pH, nitrate, etc.). NorArgo is funded by the Norwegian Research Council for 2018-2023 (through the infrastructure project NorArgo2).
On the dates 19th and 20th May 2019, the first BGC and Deep Argo floats were deployed in the Nordic Seas.
The Biogeochemical (BGC) and Deep Argo float training session within the NorArgo2 project, organized by Institute of Marine Research, was held 29–30 April in Bergen.
The first annual meeting in the infrastructure project NorArgo2 was held in Bergen 12th December. More than 20 people attended, including representatives from the advisory group and user forum.
During the last Euro-Argo ERIC Council meeting 15th November in Paris, Norway officially changed its status from Observer to full Member of the Euro-Argo ERIC (http://www.euro-argo.eu/)
