NOAA National
Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's education site. Older students may be
interested in these pages. NOAA, along with several other organizations, deploys
Argo "floats" that descend several thousand meters into the ocean and
then rise again to measure temperature, salinity, and ocean current. Several years ago,
NOAA deployed the TAO/TRITON array of buoys in the tropical Pacific that helped predict
the El Niño/La Niña cycle. To learn more about the Argo "floats" click

array click here.
