IMAGO surveys the oceans
Date: NaT

The IMAGO research and support unit, located in Brest, Dakar, and Nouméa, deploys observation devices (see footnote) and analysis techniques. The unit's teams use both stationary and mobile measurement instruments that continually monitor the ocean, gathering essential data for physical oceanography and marine biology research. In Brest, the unit's members consist of chemists, electronic engineers, and experts in measuring devices, automated buoys, and moorings. They operate observatories and conduct oceanographic campaigns.
Footnote: IMAGO contributes to the national observation services SSS (Sea Surface Salinity), PIRATA (Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic) and ReefTEMPS (Pacific Island Coastal Water Observation Network) and to ship and buoy-mounted CO2 partial pressure measurements.
