Project: Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS)

Abstract

Data presented here are discrete bottle samples from the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site located 80 km SE of Bermuda (31°40N, 64°10W) in the Sargasso Sea for October 1988 (cruise 10001) through June 2025 (cruise 10428). Measurements were collected from the core monthly BATS cruises and the near-biweekly (depending on ship availability) BATS Bloom cruises during February through April. The sample parameter list has been mostly consistent for the full time-series record and includes...

Discrete bottle data collected at the Bermuda Atlantic Time Time-series Study site in the Sargasso Sea from October 1988 through June 2025 corresponding to BATS cruises 10001 through 10428.
