That way, you can apply updated processing techniques later on, or easily identify a processing error. B1 Curve B2 Curve 22 4. Data processing B3 Curve B4 Curve 23 Argos User's Manual 24 5. How to open an Argos account 5. 1 Obtaining a program 5. 1. 1 Filling out an SUA form and ID number request form The SUA (System Use Agreement) form Argos is a location and data collection system designed for studying and protecting the environment. Use of the Argos system is subject to approval from the Operations Committee made up of representatives from the: · · · French Space Agency (CNES), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), European Organization for Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (Eumetsat). The objective of an Argos program must comply with the rules of use defined by the Operations Committee as referred to in the SUA, which can be downloaded from https://www. argossystem. org/html/userarea/forms_en. html. To open an Argos program simply fill out an SUA and send it duly signed to the CLS regional correspondent (office or branch) or, for North American users, to CLS America, who will submit it to the Operations Committee for approval. Once the SUA is approved by the Operations Committee, the corresponding Argos program can be opened. This agreement has a time limit and must be renewed periodically as specified in Article 4 of the SUA form. Platform identification number request form (ID number) All SUA forms must be accompanied by an ID number request form. This form is also used to request any extra ID numbers. Platform characteristics and the required message processing are also specified on this form. Platform messages are processed and decoded in compliance with the information supplied for declaration in the system. Modifications can only be taken into account if confirmed in writing. Modifying platform technical parameters Platform technical parameters, such as message format or maximum speed of movement, allow the corresponding processing to be optimized. Turning in Identification Numbers If a platform is no longer used, its ID number must be turned in for recycling and reassignment to a future program. This simply requires informing User Services once it is certain that the platform is permanently out of use and will no longer transmit. Modification of services Examples: · · · Subscribing to ArgosDirect, ArgosShare, ArgosMonitor Activating the "location plus"/ "auxiliary location processing (ALP)" service Transmit meteorological data on the GTS (Global Telecommunication System) 28 5. How to open an Argos account 5. 4 Terminating a program To terminate a program, users must be certain that the platforms will no longer transmit and must turn in the corresponding ID numbers. They must then request permanent deletion by writing to their User Services. However, if users wish to keep the program for a future project, the corresponding SUA must be renewed upon its expiration date, if necessary redefining the program objective. User Services is the dedicated point of contact for terminating a program. Termination can only be taken into account if confirmed in writing. 29 6. How to access Argos data 6. 1 Overview Here are several ways to access Argos data: ArgosWeb ArgosWeb, www. argos-system. org, is a secure website that allows users to consult their locations in map format or download all collected data. ArgosServer ArgosServer allows users to remotely access their Argos data with TELNET. ArgosDirect automatically delivers data to users by e-mail, FTP or CDROM. [. . . ] Two of these are NOAA stations on Wallops Island and at Gilmore Creek/Fairbanks in the United States. They are used to send commands to satellites and especially to "dump" data stored on onboard recorders. The third is a station operated by EUMETSAT in Svalbard. · Regional receiving antenna: Regional receiving stations receive data in real time, when a satellite passes through their area of visibility.
