Abstract

This dataset contains data from Argo floats deployed by the Emerson group at the University of Washington between May 2012 and July 2023. The name SOS-Argo stands for “Special Oxygen Sensor Argo” Floats. These floats have standard Argo sensors for hydrostatic pressure, temperature, and salinity in addition to an Aanderaa oxygen sensor (optode) installed on a 61 cm stalk above the end cap of the float. The tall stalk allows the float to make atmospheric pO2 measurements uncontaminated by ...

These data also appear on the University of Washington Google website (see related datasets) along with maps of the float locations and preliminary sections and figures of selected data.  
Data archived here are: time, location and the partial pressure of O2.
