Objectives:

To deploy 80 profiling floats in the North East Atlantic Ocean, as part of a global project called Argo
To collect, validate, and distribute freely the data to all interested users, through the Coriolis Data Service
Estimate the information content of the array  

o      Accuracy, resolution, complementarity to satellite altimetry

Develop procedures for real-time ocean state estimation :  

o      Inverse methods , Objective mapping , Assimilation

Estimate time varying ocean transports and structure

Develop a cost effective sampling strategy to observe ocean variability in the North Atlantic
