However, despite the impressive increase in the number of temperature and salinity profiles from the Argo array, in-situ data still undersample the temporal and spatial variability of the ocean thermohaline structure. Mersea will contribute to the Argo program by filling this gap... [NOT CONTROLLED OCR] PY 2006 PD MAR CT Poster Mersea WP3. 05-08 March 2006, London ID 4689 ER EF
