            <gmd:abstract>
                <gco:CharacterString>Argo-Italia è la componente italiana di un sistema globale di osservazione in situ basato su misurazioni effettuate con profilatori autonomi. Si concentra principalmente sui mari italiani, come il Mediterraneo e il Mar Nero, che ne costituiscono una componente importante. L'OGS coordina e è responsabile dell'attività del Centro regionale Argo per il Mediterraneo e il Mar Nero (MedArgo). L'attività di Argo-Italia si estende anche all'Oceano Antartico e al Mare di Ross. L'attività finanziata dal MUR, Argo-Italy fornisce le proprietà fisiche (temperatura, salinità) e biogeochimiche (ossigeno, clorofilla, nitrati, backscattering, ecc.) dei profili verticali dell'acqua di mare. Contribuisce ai programmi internazionali Argo ed Euro-Argo per il monitoraggio a lungo termine dell'intero oceano mondiale.</gco:CharacterString>

                        <gco:CharacterString>Il set di dati EuroArgo è parte integrante del contributo europeo al programma internazionale Argo, un sistema globale di osservazione in situ degli oceani lanciato all’inizio del 2000 con l’obiettivo di monitorare temperatura e salinità lungo la colonna d’acqua con profilatori autonomi (profiling floats). Grazie a una collaborazione internazionale tra più di 25 paesi iniziata nel 2001, il programma Argo è riuscito a creare la prima rete globale di osservazione in situ degli oceani nella storia dell’oceanografia. Nel 2007, Argo ha raggiunto il suo obiettivo iniziale di 3000 profilatori. La componente europea, Euro-Argo, è stata avviata formalmente nel gennaio 2008 con una fase preparatoria finanziata nell’ambito del Settimo Programma Quadro dell’UE (FP7), con lo scopo di organizzare e consolidare il contributo europeo alla rete Argo. In questo contesto, nel 2008 dodici paesi europei si sono riuniti all’interno del progetto Euro-Argo con l’obiettivo comune di fornire un contributo europeo ottimizzato e duraturo al programma Argo, distribuendo 250 profilatori all’anno.
Dopo un periodo di preparazione e coordinamento tra istituzioni e programmi nazionali, l’Euro-Argo ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) è stato istituito ufficialmente il 17 luglio 2014, fornendo una struttura legale stabile per coordinare la produzione, il controllo di qualità e la distribuzione dei dati europei in tempo reale (Real-Time) e in modalità post‑elaborazione (Delayed Mode). Il controllo di qualità dei dati è concordato a livello Argo formando quindi un data set omogeneo dall’inizio del programma indipendentemente dall’area geografica.</gco:CharacterString>
