Abstract

Data presented here are CTD profiles from the Hydrostation S (or Panulirus) time series site located 20 km SE of Bermuda (32°10’N, 64°30’W) in the Sargasso Sea for October 1988 through July 2024. Profiles include basic CTD measurements of Pressure, Depth, Temperature, and Salinity, reported along with dissolved oxygen, beam attenuation, and relative fluorescence, at two-decibar averages. The profiles were collected during biweekly cruises to the site from October 1988 (cruise #60643) to July 202...
