From the website: "Argo is a global array of 3,000 free-drifting profiling floats that measures the temperature and salinity of the upper 2000 m of the ocean. This allows, for the first time, continuous monitoring of the temperature, salinity, and velocity of the upper ocean, with all data being relayed and made publicly available within hours after collection."

Choice Reviews Online says "Naval explorers have kept records in the form of logbooks dating as far back as the 15th century. Surviving logbooks from 1750-1850 are the source of data for this EU-funded, free Climatological Database for the World's Oceans (CLIWOC). These logbooks contain non-instrumental weather observations, including information such as wind direction, course and distance data, as well as latitude and longitude."
