The dataset includes data from an Argo float. The Argo float is mainly located in the deep water drifting with the currents there. With 5-10 day intervals, they rise from the depth to the surface while taken measurements during the ascent. The Argo float is equipped with sensors for measuring pressure, temperature, and salinity, and in some cases equipped with additional sensors for biogeochemical measurements. Data from the Argo float are sent, via satellites, to data centres, and are available to users within 24 hours.
