Temperature and salinity profile data from globally distributed Argo
profiling floats for the week of Mar 06 to Mar 12, 2005 for the Global
Argo Data Repository, 2002-07-15 to 2005-03-12 were obtained from the
ARGO GTS server (available at <http://www.usgodae.org/argo/argo.html>
as of 2005-03-07) by NODC staff for the Global Argo Data Repository (GADR).

The U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) operates the Global
Argo Data Repository (GADR) as the long-term archive for the
International Global Argo Project (for additional information about
Argo, see http://www.argo.ucsd.edu/ (last accessed March 2005)). Argo
data archived by the US NODC may include real-time and/or delayed-mode
profiles of ocean temperature and salinity, as well as related
conductivity and/or pressure measurements, collected by Argo profiling
floats.

NODC began archiving Argo daily data on a weekly basis starting
the second quarter of FY 2003. These data include real-time and/or
delayed-mode profiles of ocean temperature and salinity (conductivity
and pressure, if any) measured by the Argo profiling floats.

The file naming convention used for these data is as follows:
yyyymmdd_prof.nc where yyyymmdd is the date the data were transmitted;
prof indicates that these are profile data, and .nc indicates that the
file is a netCDF file. Additional information about the Argo Project is
available at [http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/argo/latest_data.html] (last accessed
on Mar 07, 2005). Additional information about the netCDF file format
is available at [http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/argo/documents/format2_1/index.htm]
(last accessed on Mar 07, 2005).
