This page is used for Canadian Argo groups to coordinate deployment planning, in addition to OceanOps. To submit plans to the website, see instructions on the github page.
The map below shows completed and planned deployments for 2025, coloured by institution. Dots with a buoy symbol are locations of completed deployments (deployment location, not most recent profile location), while dots with the loading symbol are planned deployments.
To date we have deployed 0 floats in 2024: 0 ARVOR-SBE, 0 ARVOR-RBR, 0 ARVOR+DO, 0 Deep ARVOR+DO, 0 PROVOR CTS4, and 0 PROVOR CTS5.

Note: The two PROVOR floats planned for deplpyment on line P from the Tully are awaiting replacement radiometry sensors as they were originally shipped with incorrect wavelength configurations, so those deployments should be regarded as tentative.
The table below shows floats “in stock” at various institutions.
