An Argo float is deployed from a Canadian coast guard vessel southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia in October this year.

The floats drift freely in the ocean at various depths, measuring temperature, salinity and speed of current near the surface. They also measure temperature, which is critical in measuring sea-level rise.
