We use data from the ARGO cosmic microwave background ( CMB ) anisotropy experiment to constrain cosmogonies .
We account for the ARGO beamwidth and calibration uncertainties , and marginalize over the offset removed from the data .
Our derived amplitudes of the CMB anisotropy detected by the ARGO experiment are smaller than those derived previously .

We consider open and spatially-flat- \Lambda cold dark matter cosmogonies , with clustered-mass density parameter \Omega _ { 0 } in the range 0.1–1 , baryonic-mass density parameter \Omega _ { B } in the range ( 0.005–0.029 ) h ^ { -2 } , and age of the universe t _ { 0 } in the range ( 10–20 ) Gyr .
Marginalizing over all parameters but \Omega _ { 0 } , the ARGO data favors an open ( spatially-flat- \Lambda ) model with \Omega _ { 0 } = 0.23 ( 0.1 ) .
However , these numerical values are model dependent .

At the 2 \sigma confidence level model normalizations deduced from the ARGO data are consistent with those drawn from the UCSB South Pole 1994 , MAX 4+5 , White Dish , and SuZIE data sets .
The ARGO open model normalizations are also consistent with those deduced from the DMR data .
However , for most spatially-flat- \Lambda models the DMR normalizations are more than 2 \sigma above the ARGO ones .
