on 8/10/05by Charles Sun, via the internet (http://www.argo.ucsd.edu/).  

Source: Temperature and salinity profile data from globally distributed Argo profiling floats
for the month of August 2005 for the Global Argo Data Repository, data ranged from 1996-01-05
to 2005-08-10 were obtained from the ARGO GTS server (available at the following 
URL: https://test.nodc.noaa.gov/argo/latest_data.html as of 2005-08-01) 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 December 2003)). 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 data on a monthly basis starting
the second quarter of FY 2003. These data include real-time and/or
delayed-mode profiles of ocean temperature and salinity (conductivity
andpressure, if any) measured by the Argo profiling floats.
