Argo floats have been deployed in the global ocean for over 20 years. The Core
mission of the Argo program (Core Argo) has contributed well over 2 million
profiles of salinity and temperature of the upper 2000 m of the water column for
a variety of operational and scientific applications. Core Argo floats have evolved
such that the program currently consists of more than eight types of Core Argo
float, some of which belong to second or third generation developments, three
unique satellite communication systems (Argos, Iridium and Beidou) and two
types of Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) sensor systems (Seabird
and RBR). This, together with a well-established data management system,
delayed mode data quality control, FAIR and open data access, make the
program a very successful ocean observing network. Here we present Part 1 of
the Best Practices for Core Argo floats in terms of how users can get started in
the program, recommended metadata parameters and the data m.....
