Temperature and salinity profile data from globally distributed Argo profiling floats for the week of 2008-04-17 for the Global Argo Data Repository, date ranged from 2004-01-01 to 2008-04-23 (NODC Accession 0041687)

The U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) operates the Global Argo Data Repository (GADR)as the long-term archive for the International Global Argo Project (for additional information about Argo, see http://www.argo.ucsd.edu/ (last accessed April 2008)). Argo data archived by the US NODC on a weekly basis starting the second quarter of FY 2003, may include real-time and /or delayed-mode profiles of ocean temperature and salinity,as well as related conductivity and/or pressure measurements (if any), collected by Argo profiling floats.
