The routine asks for the year, month, and latitude-longitude box of interest and displays a table of all available ARGO profiles as well as their dates, times, and positions, as retrieved from a NOAA ARGO website. Individual profiles can then be selected and, unless most of the data is missing for that profile, the routine plots temperature and salinity as a function of pressure. This script is useful for a quick look at ARGO data and for retrieving individual profiles and converting them to MATLAB vectors. You are welcome to improve on this script and re-post it.
