Deployment designFollowing the Argo program goals, the float density criteria demands acoverage distribution of 3º x 3º grid cells (Fig. 1). In order to maintain theglobal Argo network coverage and taking in account the current distribution ofthe Argo floats, Argo España planned 1 float deployment in the Balearic seaarea after some gaps in the network were identified.Figure 1. Density of Argo observations in 2015. Deployments in the South Atlantic Ocean are needed if densityobservations goals want to be reachedIn the SOCIB ALMO November 2015 cruise, Pedro Vélez (IEO) led the Argodeployment planning. The R/V SOCIB was planned to carry out the research inthe Balearic Sea, through Denia – Ibiza (Fig.2). Floats deployed at the BalearicSea are occasionally driven out to shore land, making this area a di cultregion to observe continuously. The survey was divided in several transects,which includes an ideal location for Argo España purposes. An Argo float waslaunched in the area with weak southward flowing currents, soon afterReport on Argo floatWMO 6901244commencing passage the current became southward flowing.Figure 2. Argo’s deployment and trajectory in the SOCIB ALMO November 2015 cruise.2. Deployment dataInformation of the float deployments is shown in these paragraphs.a. WMO 6901244. The following table contains all the data of theWMO 6901244 deployment during SOCIB ALMO November 2015 cruise,deployed in the Ibiza Channel (Fig. 2). No troubled issues during thedeployment were reported. At the same location will test CTD to checknew cable termination. Coriolis was notified and all the information wasregistered at the Argo Information Center database. The data is free andpublicly available through the Argo data stream:http://www.oceanografia.es/argo/datos/floats/6901244.htmlReport on Argo floatWMO 6901244DATE AND TIME 2015 - 11 - 27 / 11:30 UTCDEPLOYMENT LOCATION 38º37.818’ N00º45.319’ EDEPLOYMENT PLATFORM R/V SOCIBCRUISE ID SOCIB ALMOFLOAT OWNER SOCIBPLATFORM TYPE ApexSERIAL NUMBER 6917TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IRIDIUMPARKING DEPTH (m) 700PROFILE DEPTH (m) 2000DEPLOYMENT DEPTH (m) 800WEATHER CONDITIONS 2-2.5 m wavesIP CRUISE Emma HeslopTable 1.
