About Euro-Argo
Euro-Argo ERIC is the European component of the global Argo network. 25 organizations from 12 countries are now involved with the first main objective to maintain and consolidate the global Argo array and regional coverage of European seas, by increasing the European contribution from 150-200 floats to 250 floats/year and by consolidating the data processing system. Secondly, the Euro-Argo ERIC will prepare the evolution of Argo to address new scientific and operational challenges, and in particular start implementing the new phase of Argo with an extension towards biogeochemistry, the polar oceans, the marginal seas and the deep oceans.
