EasyOneArgo data product

To deliver the best Argo data to users in the simplest way, No QC flags; No data mode; No manuals - Just straight forward good data

The Argo program provides an unprecedented volume of oceanographic data, yet its operational complexity — involving multiple data modes, quality control flags, and metadata conventions — often hinders its direct usage. The EasyOneArgo initiative addresses this challenge by delivering simplified, high-quality subsets of Argo data, specifically designed to streamline user access and integration.

We introduce two core products: EasyOneArgoTS, a curated selection of temperature-salinity profiles filtered by strict quality criteria and optimized across real-time, adjusted, and delayed modes; and EasyOneArgoTSLite, its vertically interpolated counterpart standardized over 102 pressure levels. Each profile is packaged as a standalone CSV file with structured metadata, and indexed for seamless retrieval. Visual comparisons reveal clear advantages in usability and consistency, notably between raw and interpolated datasets.

The approach is being extended to biogeochemical variables via EasyOneArgoBGC and EasyOneArgoBGCLite, currently under development. EasyOneArgo products are publicly available through monthly FAIR-compliant releases and invite community feedback for continued refinement.

This work represents a user-centric shift in Argo data delivery: no flags, no manuals — just clean, structured ocean data ready for immediate scientific application.
