Temperature and salinity profile data from globally distributed Argo profiling floats, by week from 2003-03-30 to 2010-09-16 for the Global Argo Data Repository, containing data from 1979-05-15 to 2010-09-22

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: February 28, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-01-25T00:00:00.000+00:00

This collection contains Argo data archived by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) on a weekly basis starting the second quarter of FY 2003. The data may include real-time and/or delayed-mode profiles of ocean temperature and salinity, as well as related conductivity and/or pressure measurements (if any), collected by Argo profiling floats. The US NODC operates the Global Argo Data Repository (GADR) as the long-term archive for the International Global Argo Project.
