Scientists undertake work collecting water samples each month at the same site in the open ocean nearly 50 miles (80 kilometers) off Bermuda, as part of the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) to analyzing hydrographic, chemical, and biological parameters throughout the water column. Scientific colleagues and students from around the world also join BATS cruises to undertake associated research, and many use BATS data to investigate a variety of topics, including ocean physics and biogeochemistry, the global carbon cycle, and the ocean's response to climate change.
