Euro-Argo Research Infrastructure Sustainability and Enhancement

Project description

DEENESFRITPL

Improving the Argo float system

The effects of climate change have increased the need for better observation of the oceans, an asset to life on Earth and many economies. Currently, the Argo system, a set of floats that monitor and share data on global oceans of up to 2 000 metres depth, is the best tool for ocean observation. The EU funded Euro-Argo RISE project aims to improve this system to better fight climate change and its effects, a pressing need recognised by many organisations, including G7 and IPCC. To achieve this, plans have been formulated to expand the fleet of floats to a minimum of 4 000, with a quarter studying biogeochemical parameters and another quarter reaching and monitoring abyssal depths.
