The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Discrete bottle samples collected at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site in the Sargasso Sea from December 1988 (cruise 10001) through December 2022 (cruise 10399) (NCEI Accession 0299443) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains biological, chemical, physical, and survey - biological data collected on Multiple Vessels during cruise BATS_cruises in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1988-10-20 to 2022-12-16. These data include Nitrite, Nitrogen, Silicate, Si(OH)4, silicic acid, Total Dissolved Phosphorus, bacterial abundance, biogenic silica concentration, depth, dissolved Oxygen, dissolved inorganic Carbon, nano eukaryotic phytoplankton, nitrate plus nitrite, particulate organic Carbon (POC), particulate organic nitrogen, particulate organic phosphorus, prochlorococcus abundance, reactive phosphorus (PO4), salinity from CTD, salinity from water bottle samples, sigma-theta, synechococcus abundance, total alkalinity (TA), total organic Carbon, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird 911 and Niskin bottle. These data were collected by Dominic Smith, Michael W. Lomas, Nicholas Bates, Paul J. Lethaby, and Rodney J. Johnson of Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences as part of the "Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS)" project and "Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB)", "Ocean Time-series Sites (Ocean Time-series)", and "U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (U.S. JGOFS)" programs. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2024-09-16. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: BATS discrete bottle data for years 1988-2022 Dataset Description: Discrete bottle data collected during BATS cruises #1 (October 1988) through BATS cruise #399 (December 2022). Methods and Sampling: Water samples were collected at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site located 80 km southeast of Bermuda (31°40N, 64°10W) in the Sargasso Sea. Measurements were collected monthly and often biweekly during the core monthly BATS cruises and the BATS bloom cruises (Feb to April) following the methods of Knap et al. (1997). All bottle fires are included in this dataset, even those that do not have any BATS core parameters, to be of use with other measurements and studies. Niskin bottles were deployed and accompanying CTD measurements were taken at the depths of water sample collection. Sample parameters include salinity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, nutrients (nitrate + nitrite, nitrite, phosphate, silicate), particulate organics (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous), particulate silicate, total organic carbon & nitrogen, total dissolved phosphorous, 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 separately (see https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/893521) Research was conducted on many research vessels including R/V Weatherbird I, R/V Weatherbird II, R/V Cape Henlopen, R/V Cape Hatteras, R/V Oceanus, R/V Endeavor, R/V Atlantic Explorer.
