After several months of hard work from our digital development team at Institute of Marine Research, we are pleased to announce the launch of our updated NorArgo operational website. 

In 2021, twelve new Argo floats were deployed in the Nordic Seas during a cruise with R/V Johan Hjort in April/May with Henrik Søiland (IMR) as cruise leader.

NorArgo deployed 12 new Argo floats in 2020, and today there are 65 operative Argo floats in the Nordic Sea, Barents Sea and Polar Ocean (North of Svalbard). 29 of these are Norwegian Argo floats.

In 2020, twelve new Argo floats were deployed in the Nordic Seas. Eleven of these floats were deployed during two cruises with R/V Kristine Bonnevie, in April/May and in August, both with Henrik Søiland (IMR) as cruise leader.

The second annual meeting in the infrastructure project NorArgo2 was held in Bergen 12th December. 20 people attended, including representatives from the advisory group. There were several presentations, also external, in addition to the presentation of the project status. The advisory group also gave their comments and recommendations.

The first Newsletter from NorArgo is distributed! Link to the Newsletter can be found on this web page. The aim of these news briefs is to provide updates on NorArgo activities. Please contact us if you would like to share Argo related information in a future Newsletter.

On the dates 19th and 20th May 2019, the first BGC and Deep Argo floats were deployed in the Nordic Seas.
