Sci. Data Discuss., https//doi.org/10.5194/essd-2017-58,2017 Manuscript under review for ESSD (discussion: open, 0 comments) Autonomous robotic platforms such as Biogeochemical Argo floats allow observing the ocean, from the surface to the interior, in a new and systematic way. A fleet of 105 of these platforms have collected several biological, biogeochemical and optical variables in still unexplored regions. The quality-controlled databases here presented will enable scientists to improve knowledge on the functioning of marine ecosystems and investigate the climatic implications.
