EQUIPEX NAOS project kicks off: towards a better understanding of the ocean-climate relationship

Successful in passing the first round of calls for proposals under the ‘Equipment of Excellence’ (EQUIPEX) funding scheme launched as part of the government-sponsored ‘Investments in the Future’ programme, the Novel Argo Ocean Observing System (NAOS) project is set to receive €8 million in funding. Coordinated by IFREMER, NAOS aims to strengthen the French and European contribution to the international Argo network and to pursue the expansion of the Argo network through the development of the next generation of Argo floats.
