virtualargofleet.app_parcels.ArgoParticle_exp

class ArgoParticle_exp(*args, **kwargs)

Class used to represent an Argo float that can temporarily change its mission parameters

This class extends ArgoParticle.

To be used by the ArgoFloatKernel_exp kernel.

Return type:

parcels.particle.JITParticle
