National Oceanographic Data Center, Global
Temperature-Salinity Profile Program . A cooperative international
project with Canada's Marine Environmental Data Service, the
GTSPP seeks to develop and maintain a global ocean
Temperature-Salinity resource with data that are both up-to-date
and of the highest quality possible.

Argo is a global array of 3,000 free-drifting profiling floats that
measures the temperature and salinity of the upper 2000 m of the
ocean. This allows, for the first time, continuous monitoring of the
temperature, salinity, and velocity of the upper ocean, with all data
being relayed and made publicly available within hours after
collection.
