Title: "A Large-Scale Clustering Method for ARGO Data Analysis"
Abstract: The ARGO program has deployed a vast network of autonomous floats, collecting extensive spatial and temporal records that serve as a critical resource for studying ocean dynamics and climate change. In this talk, we introduce a clustering method designed to effectively process large-scale datasets with complex structures while filtering out noise. Applying this method to an ARGO dataset comprising one million profiles collected over a decade, we identify and characterize the global distribution of vertical temperature and salinity profiles, examine the relationships between these key oceanic parameters, and investigate large-scale ocean variability.
