Cessation of distribution of Argo float data in TESAC format
Notification from the international Argo Programme
Following the recent Argo Data Management Team meeting, it has been decided that the issuing of real-time Argo float profile data to the GTS in FM-64 TESAC format will cease on 1 July 2018. Thereafter the float profile data will only be available on the GTS in BUFR TM3-15-003 format (but will still be available in netCDF through the two Argo Global Data Assembly Centres). Note that this change only refers to Argo float data and that profile data from marine mammals and ships will continue to be available on GTS in TESAC format.
