Argo floats have been successfully used for more than 10 years in the world's ocean. The Finnish Meteorological Institute began to develop practices to use Argo floats in the shallow brackish water Baltic Sea in 2011. Since 2012, Argo floats have been in continuous use in the Baltic Sea and are now a part of the Euro–Argo European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). The floats are kept in the different basins of the Baltic Sea, usually for a year and then recovered and replaced with a new float. The observation cycle is usually a week in monitoring mode, but we have also used shorter intervals up to one day. With proper piloting practices, Argo floats are of great value in monitoring and for research of shallow marginal seas, as they give regular and frequent data around the year, regardless of weather conditions. Operating the floats has matured to a level where we can state that Argo monitoring of the Baltic Sea is an operative reality.

Argo浮子已在世界海洋中成功使用了十多年。芬兰气象学院于2011年开始开发在浅咸水波罗的海使用Argo浮标的方法。自2012年以来，Argo浮标在波罗的海一直在不断使用，现在已成为Euro-Argo欧洲研究基础设施联盟的一部分（ERIC）。这些浮标通常在波罗的海的不同流域中保存一年，然后回收并更换为新的浮标。在监视模式下，观察周期通常为一周，但我们也使用了较短的间隔，直到一天。借助适当的引航方法，Argo浮标在监测和研究浅海边缘海方面具有重要价值，因为它们会在一年中定期提供频繁的数据，而不受天气条件的影响。
