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 2024, 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 38 floats in 2024: 14 ARVOR-SBE, 1 ARVOR-RBR, 2 ARVOR+DO, 8 Deep ARVOR+DO,, 10 PROVOR CTS4, and 3 PROVOR CTS5.
