• International program coordinating the use of autonomous data buoys to observe atmospheric and oceanographic conditions.
• Drifting and moored buoys that measure air pressure, sea surface temperature, salinity, ocean current velocity, air temperature, humidity, wave characteristics and wind velocity across all oceans.
• Aiming to increase the quantity, quality, global coverage and timeliness of atmospheric and oceanographic data.

Argo (Video)• A revolutionary achievement for subsurface observations• An unprecedented cooperative effort in the history of
oceanography• A crucial mechanism to better understand the warming
of the upper ocean• An essential data for the new generation of
numerical models, allowing forecasts

Volunteer Ships: SOT The JCOMM Ship Observations Team (SOT) coordinates:• The Voluntary Observing Ships (VOS) Scheme, which uses
every month ~2000 mostly commercial ships to gather and distribute meteorological observations in near-real-time to shore, for immediate use by weather forecasting services.
• The Automated Shipboard Aerological Programme (ASAP), operating mostly on ships participating in VOS, and using radiosondes tethered to gas-filled balloons to sample the atmosphere from the surface to a height of about 30km.
• The Ship-of-Opportunity Programme (SOOP), collecting along repeat lines at regular intervals notably thermal data in the top 1000m of the oceans by expendable probes, known commonly as XBTs, mostly from VOS ships.
• The data are used for operational and scientific purposes.• SOT vessels are often also used for the deployment of autonomous instruments
(floats, drifters) at sea.
