0540737This award will cover the expected costs for NSF programs requiring Argos JTA service over the next 12 months. Argos is a satellite-based data collection and geo-location system dedicated to monitoring and protecting the environment. Any mobile platform carrying an Argos transmitter can be located anywhere in the world, and data from sensors connected to the transmitter can be collected, processed and distributed anywhere in the world. Location information is derived through Doppler or GPS. The types of platforms on which Argos transmitters are deployed varies widely, and includes ships, land stations, fixed data buoys, drifting buoys, and profiling floats. Among other things, these platforms provide valuable measurements of meteorological and oceanographic conditions such as monitoring the tropical Pacific Ocean for El Nino - La Nina events. Study of animal behavior is a growing application of Argos. Animals such as turtles, whales, sea lions, polar bears, elk, moose, reindeer, eagles, condors, etc., are among the many species being tracked. Very small transmitters weighing less than 20 grams are used to track birds. A recent type of high technology transmitter in use is the Pop-Up Satellite Archival Tag which records the movements of marine animals (tuna, eels, sharks, whales, etc.) below the surface. This type of tag will release from the animal weeks or months later, rise to the surface, and transmit the collected data. Thousands of Argos transmitters are in operation around the world. The Argos system has been operational since 1978. It was established under an agreement between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA, USA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA, USA), and the French Space Agency (CNES).

该合同将涵盖未来12个月需要Argos JTA服务的NSF项目的预期费用。Argos是一个基于卫星的数据收集和地理定位系统，致力于监测和保护环境。任何携带Argos发射器的移动平台都可以位于世界任何地方，连接到发射器的传感器的数据可以在世界任何地方收集、处理和分发。位置信息是通过多普勒或GPS获得的。部署Argos发射机的平台类型多种多样，包括船舶、陆站、固定数据浮标、漂流浮标和剖面浮标。除其他外，这些平台提供有价值的气象和海洋学条件测量，例如监测热带太平洋的厄尔尼诺-拉尼娜事件。动物行为的研究是Argos越来越多的应用。海龟、鲸鱼、海狮、北极熊、麋鹿、驼鹿、驯鹿、鹰、秃鹰等动物都是被追踪的物种。重量不到20克的非常小的发射器用于跟踪鸟类。最近使用的一种高科技发射机是Pop-Up卫星档案标签，它记录海洋动物（金枪鱼、鳗鱼、鲨鱼、鲸鱼等）在水面以下的活动。这种类型的标签将在几周或几个月后从动物身上释放出来，上升到水面，并传输收集到的数据。数以千计的阿尔戈斯发射机在世界各地运行。Argos系统自1978年以来一直在运行。它是根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA，美国）、美国国家航空和航天局（NASA，美国）和法国航天局（CNES）之间的协议建立的。
