    • A BGC-Argo Guide: Planning, Deployment, Data Handling and Usage. 

      Bittig, Henry C.; Maurer, Tanya L.; Plant, Joshua N.; Schmechtig, Catherine; Wong, Annie P. S.; Claustre, Hervé; Trull, Thomas W.; Udaya Bhaskar, T. V. S.; Boss, Emmanuel; Dall’Olmo, Giorgio; Organelli, Emanuele; Poteau, Antoine; Johnson, Kenneth S.; Hanstein, Craig; Leymarie, Edouard; Le Reste, Serge; Riser, Stephen C.; Rupan, A. Rick; Taillandier, Vincent; Thierry, Virginie; Xing, Xiaogang (2019)
      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 ...

    • Processing BGC-Argo measurement timing information at the DAC level. Version 1.0, March 28th 2017. 

      Bittig, Henry C.; Schmechtig, Catherine; Rannou, Jean-Philippe; Poteau, Antoine (IFREMER for Argo Data Management, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, 2017)
      Thermal lag or sensor time response corrections (e.g., [1]) require knowledge of the time of each individual sensor observation. In the Argo data system, the float's trajectory file is the natural place to put measurement ...

    • Processing BGC-Argo particle backscattering at the DAC level. Version 1.4, 07 March 2018. 

      Schmechtig, Catherine; Poteau, Antoine; Claustre, Herve; D'Ortenzio, Fabrizio; Dall'Olmo, Giorgio; Boss, Emmanuel (IFREMER for Argo Data Management, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, 2018)
      This document does NOT address the issue of particle backscattering quality control (either real-time or delayed mode). As a preliminary step towards that goal, this document seeks to ensure that all countries deploying ...

    • Processing BGC-Argo Radiometric data at the DAC level. Version 1.1, October 9 th 2017. 

      Schmechtig, Catherine; Poteau, Antoine; Claustre, Herve; D'Ortenzio, Fabrizio (IFREMER for Argo Data Management, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, 2017)
      Presently, radiometers can be implemented on profiling floats to estimate some radiometric measurements. Hereafter we briefly describe the principle of this method and several configurations of the OCR500 series instruments. ...

    • Quantifying observational errors in Biogeochemical‐Argo oxygen, nitrate, and chlorophyll a concentrations. 

      Mignot, A.; D'Ortenzio, F.; Taillandier, V.; Cossarini, G.; Salon, S. (2019)
      Biogeochemical (BGC)‐Argo floats observations are becoming a major data source for assimilation into and constraining of ocean biogeochemical models. An important prerequisite for a successful synthesis between models ...
