The floats are core Argo floats and will measure pressure, temperature and salinity in the upper 2000 m every tenth day. Next deployment is scheduled in June on a cruise with R/V Kristine Bonnevie where a core Argo float will be deployed north of Svalbard. Later, in November, floats with biogeochemical sensors will be deployed in the Norwegian Sea.
