In the past 10 years more high resolution hydrographic profiles have been provided by Argo floats then from the rest of the observing system put together.<br\/><br\/>Each Argo float is identified by a unique identification number called a WMO ID. WMO (World Meteorological Organisation) ID Numbers are assigned to measurement stations and observing platforms to enable researchers to keep track of, and uniquely identify their floats.<br\/><br\/>Argo floats alter their buoyancy by using a battery pack and motor to drive oil from inside the float to an external bladder. This changes the floats volume and thus its density relative to the surrounding seawater allowing it to move up and down through the water column. <br\/><br\/>A typical Argo float mission is to profile from 2000 m depth to the sea surface every 10 days. On deployment, the float sinks to a depth of 1000 m and drifts with the ocean currents for 9 days. Then the float sinks deeper to its profile depth (usually 2000 m) before starting to ascend through the water column measuring temperature, salinity and pressure as it rises. Once at the surface it transmits location and profile data via satellite to land-based Argo data centres. After transmission the float sinks again and repeats the cycle. <br\/><br\/>The average life of the latest model APEX Argo floats are around 3.7 years or approximately 135 cycles. These statistics are for floats with the standard alkaline battery configuration from an analysis by Kobayashi et al (2009).In the Australian Argo program, the floats are deployed with a combination of lithium and alkaline battery packs which extends float lifetime.

The workflow enables identification of apically constricting cells based on temporal changes in apical area and quantification of F-actin dynamics within distinct cellular compartments, including the apical cortex and individual cell-cell junctions. In addition, junction length, orientation, and actin enrichment can be measured to distinguish different modes of actomyosin-mediated apical constriction. The protocol is compatible with widely used open-source software platforms and can be adapted to other epithelial tissues and fluorescent cytoskeletal reporters.

Anticipated benefits include new knowledge and support for government to use AI effectively while protecting the interests of individuals.","researchers":["Emily Sullivan","Finnur Dells\u00e9n","James Norton","Kate Lynch","Liz Sonenberg","Piers Howe","Rach Cosker-Rowland","Sam Baron","Sander Beckers"],"institutions":null,"status":"ACTIVE","fundingAmount":573060,"fundingScheme":"Discovery Projects","startDate":2026,"endDate":2028,"dateTimeModified":"2026-09-24T12:08:46Z","dateTimeCreated":"2026-09-24T12:08:46Z","funder":["Australian Research Council"],"managingInstitution":null,"principalInvestigator":["Emily Sullivan","Finnur Dells\u00e9n","James Norton","Kate Lynch","Liz Sonenberg","Piers Howe","Rach Cosker-Rowland","Sam Baron","Sander Beckers"],"purl":"https:\/\/purl.org\/au-research\/grants\/arc\/DP260101587","identifiers":["https:\/\/purl.org\/au-research\/grants\/arc\/DP260101587","DP260101587"],"subjects":["Philosophy","PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES","Philosophy of science (excl. history and philosophy of specific fields)","Artificial intelligence","Information systems, technologies and services","INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION SERVICES","Human-computer interaction","Expanding knowledge in philosophy and religious studies","Expanding knowledge","EXPANDING KNOWLEDGE"],"links":[{"rel":"self","href":"http:\/\/researchdata.edu.au\/api\/v2.0\/registry\/activities\/grants\/4135643"}]}],"links":[{"rel":"grant","href":"http:\/\/researchdata.edu.au\/api\/v2.0\/registry\/activities\/grants"},{"rel":"program","href":"http:\/\/researchdata.edu.au\/api\/v2.0\/registry\/activities\/programs"},{"rel":"project","href":"http:\/\/researchdata.edu.au\/api\/v2.0\/registry\/activities\/projects"},{"rel":"award","href":"http:\/\/researchdata.edu.au\/api\/v2.0\/registry\/activities\/awards"},{"rel":"dataset","href":"http:\/\/researchdata.edu.au\/api\/v2.0\/registry\/activities\/datasets"},{"rel":"funder","href":"http:\/\/researchdata.edu.au\/api\/v2.0\/registry\/activities\/funders"}]}}
