The TAO array consists of approximately 70 ATLAS and current meter moorings in the Tropical Pacific Ocean, telemetering oceanographic and meteorological data in realtime via the ARGOS satellite system. Designed to improve detection, understanding, and prediction of El Niño, TAO is a major component of the global climate observing system. The array is presently supported by an international consortium, involving cooperation between the United States, France, Japan and Taiwan.
