There are a variety of maps showing various features of the Argo fleet. There are plots by country, by float model,
by sensor type and density plots among others. A few maps are featured below. |

| Make an Argo icosohedron: Howard Freeland in Canada has produced an image and instructions from which you can print an image of the world with Argo float positions superimposed. It can then be cut out and glued to form a solid icosohedron. |
