All floats with depths are regular PALACEs on 10-day cycles.  Regular 
PALACEs go to neutral buoyancy as ballasted (depth listed), then profile 
on the way to the surface.  The "park" PALACEs profile to 1400 meters on 
their way down and then pump themselves back up to 600m till it's time 
to surface. The "park" floats do six months of 10-day cycles, then six 
months of 20-day cycles.

All floats are "park" PALACEs which profile to 1400 meters on descent
and then pump themselves back up to 600m till it's time to surface. 
The "park" floats do six months of 10-day cycles, then six months of 
20-day cycles.
 
The trajectories consist of a sinking point and a surfacing point, 
extrapolated from the surface Argos locations using objective inter-
polation.  Since the floats can ground themselves, the set of posi-
tions was searched for instances where the ocean depth at the float 
position was possibly as shallow as the float depth. If bottom con-
tact was suspected, the record was marked.
