Argo data 1999-2019: two million temperature-salinity profiles and subsurface velocity observations from a global array of profiling floats. Frontiers in Marine Science, 7, (2020): 700, doi:10.3389/fmars.2020.00700.In the past two decades, the Argo Program has collected, processed, and distributed over two million vertical profiles of temperature and salinity from the upper two kilometers of the global ocean. A similar number of subsurface velocity observations near 1,000 dbar have also been collected. This paper recounts the history of the global Argo Program, from its aspiration arising out of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment, to the development and implementation of its instrumentation and telecommunication systems, and the various technical problems encountered. We describe the Argo data system and its quality control procedures, and the gradual changes in the vertical resolution and spatial coverage of Argo data from 1999 to 2019. The accuracies of the float data have been assessed by comparison with high-quality shipboard measurements, and are concluded to be 0.002°C for temperature, 2.4 dbar for pressure, and 0.01 PSS-78 for salinity, after delayed-mode adjustments. Finally, the challenges faced by the vision of an expanding Argo Program beyond 2020 are discussed.AW, SR, and other scientists at the University of Washington (UW) were supported by the US Argo Program through the NOAA Grant NA15OAR4320063 to the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO) at the UW.

Sur la modification des propriétés des aimants produite par les effets de bord. Cas des aimants à champ uniforme et à gradient de champ

We show that the fringe field of a constant-gap magnet gives nearly the same effect as if the magnet is replaced by a fictitious magnet such that ∫ U(z) dz, measured along a line perpendicular to an entrance or an exit face, is the same for both magnets. This result may be generalized to n-type magnets, but with rather more complicated expressions. We extend the Cartan graphical construction to these magnets.Nous montrons que l'effet du champ de bord dans un aimant à entrefer constant est, très approximativement, le même que si l'aimant réel est remplacé par un aimant fictif parfait tel que ∫ H(z) dz, compté sur une perpendiculaire à une face, soit le même pour les deux aimants. Ce résultat est généralisable au cas des aimants à gradient de champ, mais à partir d'expressions un peu plus compliquées. Nous généralisons à ces aimants la construction graphique de Cartan
