dc.description.abstract | The Biogeochemical-Argo program (BGC-Argo) is a new profiling-float-based, ocean
wide, and distributed ocean monitoring program which is tightly linked to, and has
benefited significantly from, the Argo program. The community has recommended for
BGC-Argo to measure six additional properties in addition to pressure, temperature and
salinity measured by Argo, to include oxygen, pH, nitrate, downwelling light, chlorophyll
fluorescence and the optical backscattering coefficient. The purpose of this addition is to
enable the monitoring of ocean biogeochemistry and health, and in particular, monitor
major processes such as ocean deoxygenation, acidification and warming and their
effect on phytoplankton, the main source of energy of marine ecosystems. Here we
describe the salient issues associated with the operation of the BGC-Argo network,
with information useful for those interested in deploying floats and using the data
they produce. The topics include float testing, deployment and increasingly, recovery.
Aspects of data management, processing and quality control are covered as well as
specific issues associated with each of the six BGC-Argo sensors. In particular, it is
recommended that water samples be collected during float deployment to be used for
validation of sensor output. | en_US |
