• Argo observes physical variability of the global ocean’s upper 2 km.
• US Argo partners: AOML, FNMOC, PMEL, SIO, UW, and WHOI.
• UW and PMEL work together on Argo through JISAO.
• UW leads on ship chartering for US Argo and deploys about 120 floats/year.
• PMEL leads delayed mode salinity QC for Argo and deploys about 80 floats/year.
• UW has provided PMEL assistance with starting up a float lab.
• UW and PMEL have shared staffing and pooled floats for deployment cruises.
• UW and PMEL have cooperated on scientific analysis and delayed mode QC of float data.
• UW, with JISAO assistance for NZ ship chartering, has led in South Pacific Float deployments
• PMEL, with JISAO assistance (both scientific and in data management), has led in delayed-mode salinity quality control.
• UW and PMEL each deploy significant numbers of Argo floats (combined 25% of total effort)
