Argos is a satellite-based system which collects, processes and disseminates environmental data from fixed and mobile platforms worldwide. What makes Argos unique is the ability to geographically locate the source of the data anywhere on the Earth utilizing the Doppler effect. Argos was established in 1978 and since that time, it has provided data to environmental research and protection communities that, in many cases, was otherwise unobtainable. The system is fully proven and highly reliable. Many remote automatic weather stations report via Argos. Argos is a key component of many global research programs including: TOGA, TOPP, WOCE, Argo, and others.

  • Argos is a satellite-based system which collects, processes and disseminates environmental data from fixed and mobile platforms worldwide. What makes Argos unique is the ability to geographically locate the source of the data anywhere on the Earth utilizing the Doppler effect. Argos was established in 1978 and since that time, it has provided data to environmental research and protection communities that, in many cases, was otherwise unobtainable. The system is fully proven and highly reliable. Many remote automatic weather stations report via Argos. Argos is a key component of many global research programs including: TOGA, TOPP, WOCE, Argo, and others. Argos was developed under a Memorandum of Understanding between the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration . The system utilizes both ground and satellite-based resources to accomplish its mission. These include: instruments carried aboard the NOAA polar orbiting environmental satellites (POES) and the EUMETSAT MetOp satellites, receiving stations around the world, and major processing facilities in France and the United States. This fully integrated system works to conveniently locate and deliver data from the most remote platforms to the user's desktop, often in near real-time. Argos is operated by CLS/Argos, based in Toulouse, France. CLS has subsidiaries in the U.S., namely, Service Argos, Inc. and North American CLS. These companies together operate the system and promote its use. (en)
  • Le système Argos est un système mondial de localisation et de collecte de données géopositionnées par satellite. Le système Argos permet de localiser les balises n'importe où à la surface de la terre avec une précision d'environ 150 mètres. La balise peut être installée sur un voilier, un canot de sauvetage, des bouées, une station météo automatique dérivante, etc. comme sur un animal (phoque par exemple. Dans ce cas c'est un système complémentaire à celui du radiotracking). (fr)
  • Argos es un sistema de satélites que colecta, procesa y disemina información ambiental desde plataformas fijas y móviles en todo el mundo. Lo que hace a Argos única es su habilidad para localizar geográficamente la fuente de datos en cualquier lugar de la Tierra utilizando el efecto Doppler. Argos se establece en 1978, y desde ese entonces, ha provisto de datos a la investigación ambiental, donde en muchos casos, de otro modo sería inobtenible. El sistema está a pleno, y es confiable. Muchas estaciones meteorológicas automáticas reportan vía Argos. Argos es un componente clave de muchos programas de estudios globales, como: TOGA, TOPP, WOCE, Argo, y otross. Argos se desarrolló bajo un "Memorandum de Entendimiento" entre el Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, la National Aeronautics and Space Administration y la National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration El sistema usa tanto recursos de tierra como de satélites para realizar su misión. Eso incluye: Instrumentos a bordo de satélites de órbita polar ambientales de NOAA (POES) y satélites EUMETSAT y MetOp, estaciones terrenas alrededor del mundo, facilidades de procesamiento en Francia y EE.UU. Este sistma integrado trabaja localizando y entregando datos de plataformas remotas al monitor de cliente, a veces muy próximo al tiempo real. Argos es operado por la CLS/Argos, con base en Toulouse, Francia. La CLS tiene dos subsidiarias en EE.UU.: Service Argos, Inc. y "North American CLS". Esas compañías operan juntas y promueven su uso.

  • Argos ist ein satellitengestütztes System, um Position und Messdaten nicht ortsfester Objekte abzufragen. Beispielsweise erhalten Zugvögel kleine Sender, um ihre Flugrouten zu verfolgen. Das Rettungssystem COSPAS-SARSAT ist eine Spezialanwendung von Argos. (de)
