What we do

CSIRO Marine & Atmospheric Research are the operators for Argo Australia, which is a component of the Integrated Marine Observing System IMOS. Argo floats are deployed, real-time processed, and delayed-mode processed at CMAR.

Delayed-mode processing is carried out at least 6 months after data has been collected. Under the direction of the lead scientist, a rigourous and internationally standardised treatment is applied to ensure the data is free of all detectable errors and biases.

What is here

The pages here are of most relevance to other members of the international Argo community. They contain our processing diagnostic materials and final reports for each float. Documentation of our processing procedures will be added as it becomes available.

QC material

DMQC Notes contains Processing Reports for each Australian float.

Check Plots leads to many different categories of diagnostic plots. This material is not set up for browser navigation - but is online for use by local staff and so that collegues can be directed to material to share and discuss. However, a large portion of these plots are available in the Processing Reports for each float, accessed via the link above.
