oceanography

Oceanography

The Ocean dominates the Earth’s surface regulating its climate while playing a critical role in the hydrological cycle and sustaining a large portion of its biodiversity. Understanding climate mechanisms primarly means understanding the ocean.

Argos services are regularly used to collect in-situ observation data. They are an essential tool of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) for collecting oceanographic measurements and their geographical location, particularly for the Argo program, the Ship Observation Team (SOT) program and the Data Buoy Cooperation Panel (DBCP).

meteorology

Meteorology

From our most mundane decisions to some of humanity's biggest challenges, almost all our activities are influenced by the weather, climate and water.

Throughout the world, thousands of meteorological stations at sea or on land send information using Argos services to help scientists understand and predict climate changes. These data from isolated and sometimes inaccessible zones are a very useful source of information for understanding the environment and climate change.

More than 70% of data obtained using Argos services are shared by the oceanography and meteorology communities which assimilate them into numerical forecasting models.

Hydrology

Hydrology is an extremely important field of study, dealing with one of the most valuable resources on Earth: water.

Water information in terms of quantity (level, volumes, etc.) and quality (microbiological parameters, phisico-chemical parameters, turbidity, ect.) obtained through hydrological stations is transmitted to Public and Private water actors using Argos services.

The measurements collected by these autonomous stations are also available to international programs and help the international community for acting on water resilience.
