Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study

Caption

The CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth) instrument is the backbone of the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) program, collecting a variety of physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic data from the North Atlantic Ocean on a monthly basis. Over time, these data points form a time-series, which allow scientists to examine trends in a variety of research areas, including the global carbon cycle and climate change.
