Temperature, salinity, pressure, and biogeochemical profile data from globally distributed Argo profiling floats, by month since April 2003 for the Global Argo Data Repository, containing data from 1995-09-07 to present

This collection represents all data collected from Argo profiling floats up until last month. The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) operates the Global Argo Data Repository (GADR) as the long-term archive for the International Global Argo Program (for additional information about Argo, see http://www.argo.ucsd.edu/). Argo data have been archived by NCEI on a monthly basis starting the second quarter of FY 2003. These data may include real-time and/or delayed-mode profiles of ocean temperature, salinity, pressure, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, pH, chlorophyll a, backscattering, and downwelling irradiance. as well as related conductivity and/or pressure measurements. These data were collected by Argo profiling floats and other profiling float data not directly handled by the Argo data assembly centers. Profiling floats have been deployed since 1995 by several research projects.

本数据集收录了截至上月所有Argo剖面浮标（Argo profiling floats）的观测数据。美国国家环境信息中心（National Centers for Environmental Information, NCEI，隶属于美国国家海洋和大气管理局NOAA）负责运营全球Argo数据仓库（Global Argo Data Repository, GADR），作为国际全球Argo计划（International Global Argo Program）的长期数据存档机构（如需了解Argo的更多信息，请访问http://www.argo.ucsd.edu/）。自2003财年第二季度起，NCEI便按月开展Argo数据的归档存储工作。此类数据涵盖海洋温度、盐度、压力、电导率、溶解氧、硝酸盐、pH值、叶绿素a、后向散射与下行辐照度的实时及/或延迟模式剖面数据，以及相关的电导率和/或压力测量数据。本数据集收录的数据由Argo剖面浮标及其他未由Argo数据组装中心直接处理的剖面浮标观测所得，而剖面浮标自1995年起已由多项科研项目部署布设。
