In line with the Argo outreach effort, CSIRO has been hosting a web-page which provides weekly updated T/S profiles for the global Argo array:
http://www.marine.csiro.au/~ttchen/argo/gmap.htm, with specific characteristics as follow:
* national grouping for floats localisation
* low-cost hardware requirements for web-access, ie access is via GoogleMap which requires no high-speed graphic card, in contrast to Google Earth.
Usage: hovering the mouse-pointer over the icon of a float brings up a menu which lists clickable links leading to float information, such as TS-plots.
More detailed real-time data are available for the Australian floats at http://www.marine.csiro.au/~gronell/ArgoRT/select_floats_WMO.html
You are most welcome to explore this resource and to feedback any comments.
Tseviet Tchen.
