BATS site
In 1988, two deep ocean time-series hydrostations were established with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF):
one in the western North Atlantic Ocean near the historical Panulirus Station (Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study [BATS];
Michaels and Knap, 1996) and the other in the subtropical North Pacific Ocean near Hawaii (Hawaii Ocean Time-series [HOT];
Karl and Lukas, 1996). These programs were established and are currently operated by scientists at Bermuda Biological Station for Research and the University of Hawaii, respectively.
The Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BBSR) &
Hydrostation "S" Research have a
long history of oceanographic innovation. 1954 saw the implementation of the world's first significant deep-ocean
time series, Hydrostation "S" Research
, from which data are still being collected. The longevity and success of the program eventually
led to BBSR linking with the U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) program to start the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study
(BATS), another long-term time-series study examining biogeochemical cycles in the Sargasso Sea near Bermuda.
To get an overview about the data available in the following section, please have a look at the map and the variable/parameter profiles (.pdf document).
In order to present properly the results Ocean Data View (Reiner Schlitzer, Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research) has been applied.
Data are available as tab-delimited .txt files in ASCII format. If you have comments on that, please let me know (Nicolas Dittert, WDC-MARE).
All ORFOIS related data with respect to BATS are continuously updated.
Whenever you use data of the ORFOIS data compilation that refer to the BATS data collection, please quote the citations of the
following publications:
