| R ussian ARGO

| |
The ARGO Project in Russia is being carried
out by Far Eastern Hydrometeorological Research Institute
(FERHRI)
now. The project will involve Arctic and Antarctic Research
Institute (Saint-Petersburg) later.
Govermental decision on the organization of Russian ARGO
structure was not made yet due to the absence of international
ARGO document.
The goal of the project is to establish by March 2003
an operational system with the capacity to deploy at least
2 floats each year.

The training in University of Washington (Prof. Stephen C. Riser) of methods of work with
PALACE floats. |

The first PALACE floats were deployed by FERHRI in the central
part of the Japan Sea as part of cooperative expedition with
JAERI. One of them from the beginning refused to sink and therefore
became surface float only. From 2000 data of floats are accesible
for participants of ARGO project. |
