| ARGO sailed 38,450 nautical miles on the first Scripps exploration of the tropical and temperate the Indian Ocean. Monsoon Expedition was part of the multinational collaborative International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE) organized by UNESCO 1960-1964. ARGO identified and delineated major seafloor topographic features, and made geophysical crustal measurements across the Sunda Trench. C.D. Keeling’s carbon dioxide monitoring apparatus was employed for the first time aboard ship. |
