25 years of @ukargo.bsky.social !🎉

967+ floats; ~145k profiles; One global ocean!

From core Argo to biogeochemical, deep-ocean and polar missions, the UK continues to support the transition to #OneArgo — a next-generation, full-depth, multidisciplinary ocean observing system.
🌊🛰️📊🌎

Thanks to Nathan Briggs @natebriggs.bsky.social & the RRS James Cook crew for recovering 🇫🇷 Deep #Argofloat 6902895 on the ReBELS-2 cruise in the Labrador Sea.
🌊 Recovered floats are key to sustainable ocean observation.

Huge thank you and congratulations to Jon Turton as he retires from the UK Met Office!

His dedication and hard work on the UK Argo programme for over 25 years have been truly remarkable. His commitment and expertise have made a great contribution to the global Argo array.

Day 3 of the #ADMT26 meeting at @whoi.edu is in full swing!

We dove deep into critical updates from the #BGC Argo mission, covering #OneArgo sensor frameworks for new sensors and mission parameters, documentation and procedures updates, and a review of the #BGC Argo products!

Nathan Briggs is presenting the working group’s scientific assessment and recommendations on the ECO 3rd channel of the bio-optical sensor at the #ADMT26 meeting hosted by @whoi in Woods Hole, MA. #BGCfloats #ArgoFloats #Argo #OneArgo

🌊 This week marks the annual Argo Data Management Team Meeting at the @whoi.edu!

Over the next two days, we will focus specifically on Biogeochemical Argo.
