Since the early 2000s, NIWA has been part of the international Argo programme. Argo floats takes the pulse of the oceans, collecting and distributing temperature and salinity observations from a global network of more than 3700 underwater robots. The data being gathered will improve our understanding not only of our oceans' role in climate and weather, but will play a major role in informing decisions affecting our oceans and its inhabitants.
