I would expand this part around line 26 of your paper
"and sometimes other quantities along this vertical
path yielding “profiles” that are uploaded via satellite to globally distributed data assembly
centres (Roemmich et al., 2001, 2009). Since 1997, the International Argo Program has
collected over 2.4 million profiles from around the globe."
As "other quantities" (BGC data) are the reasons why the argo file format has changed in 2014-2015 and this is also the reason why a library like yours is needed
