UNITED KINGDOM

The United Kingdom contribution to global Biogeochemical-Argo is coordinated within the UK-Argo programme.

• The overall priorities of the UK Biogeochemical-Argo programme is to improve predictions of how ocean biology and biogeochemical cycles will respond to ongoing climate warming by means of novel sustained observations of the upper-ocean.


• The Area of preferential deployments is the Atlantic Ocean, from the Arctic to the Southern Ocean.

• The UK contribution to global Biogeochemical-Argo is currently supported mainly through project-based funding including:
• The "UK contribution to the international Bio-Argo Network" project
• Funding for the UK NERC Arctic Research Programme
