Argo – Data ManagementArgo – Data Management• 2 channels of real time distribution:
– GTS of WMO– Internet from 2 Global Data Centres (GDACs)
• National Data Centres feed the GTS and 2 GDACs :Coriolis Server (IFREMER, France)GODAE Server (FNMOC, USA)
Coriolis CSIRO MEDS JMA CLS&SAI AOML BODC METRI/KMA INCOIS NMDIS UKMO – KORDI soon
• Standard Real-Time QC applied• Delayed-Mode QC being finalized (data available from
GDACs after delay of 6-12 months)• Regional Centres being established• Long Term Archival Centre established @ NODC, USA• CDROM being finalized (NODC)

Argo – International issuesArgo – International issues
• Beached floats– 1-2 %– Retrieval is a long process– Solution: send an expert
if needed– Good opportunity to strengthen
regional support
