Fresh salinity anomalies found in Argo float 5906299
RBR has analyzed the salinity from Argo APEX float 5906299 equipped with an RBRargo3 CTD and has found a clear and sudden fresh salinity anomaly after about 30 cycles. It was determined that the float spent an abnormally long amount of time at the surface on several occasions, often preceding a clear salinity anomaly event. It is hypothesized that the … Read More

Argo “Salty drift” Salinity Data Issue Notice 2021
Starting in 2015, an increased number of Sea-Bird conductivity cells used on Argo floats have drifted salty (https://argo.ucsd.edu/data/data-faq/#sbepsal). The fraction of “salty drifters” has been correlated with particular CTD batches, with some percentages being greater than 50% by the end of their second year after deployment. Sea-Bird Scientific has implemented a manufacturing change at the end of 2018, and … Read More
