Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The Argo Online School (AoS) is a collection of videos, animations and hands-on Python-driven Jupyter notebooks designed to make the data accessible from more than 4,000 profiling floats that constitute the Argo program.The Argo program samples, in near real-time, the upper 2,000 meters of the ocean using a fleet of floats that drift with the ocean currents.The AoS consists of 28 chapters about the Argo program and its data, organized into a total of 3 lessons and 2 self-assessment sections:• Lesson 1 is intended to introduce the basics of Argo, its objectives and key elements, such as the structure of the Argo floats and their operation in the open ocean.
