ARGO J.M. is a satellite mission launched by NASA in 1999 to study the Earth's oceans and their role in climate change. It stands for "Absolute Radiometer for Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Geophysics" and is also known as the "Jason-1" satellite.
The main purpose of ARGO J.M. is to measure sea surface height, which is an indicator of ocean circulation and climate change. It also collects data on ocean temperature and wind speeds, and helps to monitor changes in sea level and ocean currents over time.
ARGO J.M. uses a radar altimeter to measure sea surface height by sending out pulses of radio waves and measuring the time it takes for them to bounce off the ocean's surface and return to the satellite. It also has temperature and wind sensors that collect data as the satellite orbits the Earth.
ARGO J.M. has discovered that the Earth's oceans are warming at an alarming rate, which is contributing to sea level rise and changes in ocean currents. It has also helped scientists to better understand the relationship between ocean circulation and climate patterns, such as El Niño and La Niña.
ARGO J.M. is still operational and collecting valuable data, but it is expected to reach the end of its mission life in the near future. NASA has launched a successor mission, called Jason-3, which will continue to collect data on sea surface height and other ocean parameters.
