🌊One decision that came from the Argo AST last month is that the RBRArgo CTD is now accepted for global implementation. Argo Canada has committed to buying at least 50% of our floats with RBR sensors to support diversification of the fleet. In photos, an update to my lego Argo float 😄.

I can't believe that @clarkgrichards.bsky.social forgot to include an example of an #Argo float for #CTDAppreciationDay, one of the most important CTD-equipped platforms for understanding the global ocean. There are currently 4091 operational floats, profiling every 10 days and sending data back! 🌊

New shipment of @argocanada.bsky.social #Argo floats arrived (Teledyne Apex)! Getting them tested and ready to start deploying. Can't tell because of the baggies over the sensors, but half of them are #RBR sensors and the other half are #SBE sensors. Our committment to diversifying the Argo fleet!

Prepping two of our #NKE #Argo floats to ship to colleagues in New Zealand, to be used to measure the ocean around Antarctica (ignore the floats in the foreground)! One of them was signed by a grade 6 class in Halifax NS Canada as part of our "Adopt-a-float" program. adopt-a-float.ocean.dal.ca
