- ## Dataset summary
12
 
13
  This dataset contains ocean profile data collected by the international Argo float program and accessed via the Argovis API. Each record corresponds to a single profile measured by an autonomous drifting float, including time, location, basin, and associated profile metadata fields that can be joined to the underlying temperature and salinity data structures. The goal of this dataset is to provide a ready-to-use subset of Argo profiles for machine learning, geospatial analysis, and educational use.[1][2][3][4]

15
  The files were programmatically fetched using the Argovis API in Python, converted to pandas DataFrames, and exported as CSV. This makes it easy to load the data in common data science environments (Python, R, Julia) without needing to write custom API integration code.[5][6][1]
