Deep – Arvor Float deployment in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean, Canary Basin.

This document describes one of the latest contributions of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography to the ARGO international network. It’s the deployment of a Deep Arvor profiler in the Eastern Atlantic. Thanks to this device, obtaining data of temperature and salinity up to 4000 meters of depth is feasible. Technical characteristics and previous results are attached

Wind-Driven Cross-Equatorial Flow in the Indian Ocean

This is a summary of the paper "Wind-Driven Cross-Equatorial Flow in the Indian Ocean" for the EuroArgo platform in order to show the possible uses of data from ARGO profilers by the scientific community. The original authors are contained in the review. The influence of monsoons periods (summer and winter) in the Indian Ocean is a remarkable case of great seasonal variability. Besides transition lapses, both represent very different wind and ocean circulation conditions (Fig. 1). The winter monsoons occur during the months of December to March. In this interval, Northern trade winds cover the northern Indian Ocean, generating the wind–driven southward Somali Current. On the other hand, the summer monsoons prevail from June to September, characterized by strong southwesterly winds that occupy the whole Indian Ocean and flows northward. Two transitional periods occur between both monsoons (April – May and October – November respectively). In order to check this pattern, a steady-state model based in NCEP wind stress data (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA), temperature and salinity from the World Ocean Atlas 2005 (WOA05) and Argo database was developed. Results confirm previous studies, showing a Somali Current flowing to the south during winter monsoon carrying -11.5 ± 1.3 Sv (1 Sv = 106m3s-1) and -12.3 ± 0.3 Sv from WOA05 and Argo, respectively. In the summer monsoon the Somali Current reverses to the north transporting 16.8 ± 1.2 Sv and 19.8 ± 0.6 Sv in the WOA05 and Argo results
