That’s a wrap for the Argo Data Management Team Meeting 2026! Thank you to the ≈180 registered participants who joined us this week in Brest 🇫🇷 and online. 🙏 This landmark event for the international community was a productive week, filled with friendly and constructive discussions. #ADMT #OneArgo

Among the topics discussed so far at the #ADMT-27: DACs (Data Assembly Centres) & GDACs (Global Data Assembly Centres), OneArgo, and a focus on BGC (Biogeochemistry) topics. The participants also had the chance to visit the test tank on the Ifremer premises. 📷©Euro-Argo ERIC #Argofloats #ADMT27

The 27th 𝗔𝗿𝗴𝗼 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 begins today with an opening address by the Chairman & Chief Executive of @ifremer.bsky.social who hosts the event in Brest. 🇫🇷 We are thrilled to welcome around 80 registered participants in person & 100 online! #Argofloats #OceanScience

The intl Argo data managers will cover all data mgmt related topics, including: • real time & delayed mode data stream for #OneArgo • pilot data • GDACs status • format & vocabulary • data access & archival 💡 The #ADMT27 is co-organised by Ifremer, @oceanops.bsky.social & EA ERIC, as part of #EAONE.

Good to see Argo represented at the @george-project.bsky.social stand, alongside other key marine science technologies, at #SeaTechWeek in Brest, France, this week. 🇫🇷 Thank you to #EMSO ERIC & @ifremer.bsky.social for showcasing GEORGE's technologies to the intl maritime community. #Argofloats

#EMSO and Ifremer 🌊 represented GEORGE at Sea Tech Week, held in Brest, France, this week 🇫🇷 The team presented GEORGE technologies and overall progress, including results from 2025 & 2026 demo missions, and connected with potential collaborators. Thank you to everyone who stopped by! 👋

Exciting news from our network! 🎉🇬🇧 Argo UK has launched its brand-new website, developed as part of #EAONE. 👉 Explore Argo UK’s contribution to the Argo programme, Argo technologies, data & objectives: www.ukargo.net Congratulations to the teams involved! 👏 #Argofloats #OceanScience @noc.ac.uk

‼️We’re excited to introduce the new UK Argo website!‼️ Our new website is a place to discover UK Argo, explore the floats and data, and learn more about how Argo observations are being used. 🛰️ 🌊 🌍 🌟 📡 Take a look 👇 www.ukargo.net #Argofloats #OceanScience #OneArgo #UKArgo

📢 Technicians, engineers and scientists working with autonomous marine technologies – Check out the @george-project.bsky.social's new interactive online training platform for autonomous marine observing technologies. 👇 #Argofloats #OceanScience #GEORGEproject

GEORGE project@george-project.bsky.social

📣 The GEORGE project has launched a brand new online training platform for autonomous marine observing technologies. The platform, executed as a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), has been developed by @helsinki.fi, with materials produced collaboratively by the entire GEORGE consortium.

A great example of international collaboration in the North Atlantic within the Euro-Argo ERIC! #ArgoIreland 🇮🇪🤝🇬🇧 #ArgoUK Seven #Argofloats were successfully deployed in August 2026 during the biannual servicing of the #EllettArray project, led by the @noc.ac.uk & @samsocean.bsky.social. 👇

This summer, the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) #ArgoItaly 🇮🇹 deployed its first Biogeochemical (BGC) Argo float in the Arctic, south of the Svalbard Islands. 💡 This milestone marks an important step for the CNR as it expands its BGC observations into the high-latitude Arctic environment.

In July, @george-project.bsky.social joined the 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗠𝗢𝗢𝗦𝗘_𝗚𝗘 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 in the Med. Sea. A prototype coastal ARVOR-C & 2 BGC #Argofloats were deployed to extend autonomous obs of the Mediterranean & support GEORGE’s work on the ocean carbon system. 👉 www.euro-argo.eu/News-Meeting...

Hop aboard the #GAIABLU w/ Romain Cancouët (EA ERIC Operational Engineer) & learn more abt the prototype coastal Arvor #Argofloat deployed by @george-project.bsky.social. The #MOOSE cruise also involved deploying a BGC float to enable comparison b/w autonomous platforms. #Oceanscience #Argofloats

GEORGE project@george-project.bsky.social

This July, GEORGE tested and validated autonomous observing technologies in the Mediterranean. Watch Romain Cancouët explain how the prototype coastal #Arvor float was deployed. The float has been developed in GEORGE by Euro-Argo ERIC, nke Instrumentation & Ifremer 🌊 🎥: Christian Clauwers.

Check out this paper from Euro-Argo ERIC & #ArgoGermany member @geomarkiel.bsky.social. 🇩🇪 It demonstrates how Argo data and #AI can help study the #AMOC. 👇 #OneArgo #Argofloats #OceanScience

Artificial Intelligence looks into the Ocean Researchers at GEOMAR and Kiel University @uni-kiel.de @kielunimarine.bsky.social demonstrate how artificial intelligence and data from the global Argo float programme can be used to determine characteristics of the AMOC. 🔗 www.geomar.de/en/news/arti...

GEORGE project@george-project.bsky.social

Update from the GEORGE demo mission in the NW Mediterranean & #MOOSE2026 cruise on R/V #GaiaBlu 🚢 On Friday, the second #Argo float of the mission was deployed for long-term autonomous measurements near Lion. Following tradition, the float was signed by crew members before being sent on its way ✍️

The first #Argofloat of the 2026 GEORGE project demo mission, a coastal ARVOR float, will be deployed tonight in presence of Romain Cancouët, Euro-Argo ERIC Office Operational Engineer! #Argofloats #OceanScience #EuropeanProject

GEORGE project@george-project.bsky.social

Two days into the expedition aboard R/V Gaia Blu for the GEORGE NW Mediterranean demo mission 🚢 Teams are running CTD casts for carbon, pH, nutrients and oxygen, setting up the GO system and preparing the coastal #Argo float for tonight's deployment. Follow for updates! 📸: Christian Clauwers

The @george-project.bsky.social multi-platform mission includes 2 #Argofloats to study the marine carbon system in the water column: 👉 A PROVOR CTS5 float w/ O2, pH & acoustic sensors 👉 An ARVOR float measuring T° & salinity These floats will continue observations after the cruise. #OceanScience
