[BATS discrete bottle data] - Discrete bottle samples collected at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site in the Sargasso Sea from October 1988 through December 2024 (Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study)

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: salinity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, nutrients (nitrate + nitrite, nitrite, phosphate, silicate), particulate organics (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous), particulate silicate, total organic carbon and nitrogen, total dissolved phosphorus, bacterial enumeration, and flow cytometry counts of picoplankton.

The HPLC derived phytoplankton pigment data which are collected synoptically with many of the above parameters are reported in a separate dataset.
