For my reading activity my group and I were assigned to make a small diagram about the Argo Cycle and have a discussion about what Argo Floats are. An Argo Float is an underwater device that measures the temperature and salinity of the ocean waters. The Argo Float weighs about 25kg which includes it's instruments and the batteries inside. They are 1.2m long. The people that collect the data from the Argo Floats send to the satellite are Scientists, Meteorologist and Oceanographers.
This photo shows the Argo Cycle. I have added the satellite and the receiving station for information.
