摘　　要：In 2023, oceanographers will deploy hundreds of free-drifting robotic floats equipped with sets of custom-built sensors engineered to measure multiple biogeochemical (BGC) characteristics of the world’s oceans, including pH, oxygen, nitrate, and chlorophyll levels. The project, BGC-Argo, piggybacks off the success of the international Argo program, which over the last 20 years has tracked the temperature and salinity of the planet’s oceans with thousands of autonomous cylindrical robotic floats (Fig. 1). With the addition of fleets of more advanced deep water and BGC-Argo floats, the program’s researchers and collaborators aim to answer more complex and vital questions about the ocean’s productivity, carbon cycling, acidification, and ecosystem variability [1].
