Two decibar averaged CTD profiles collected at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site from October 1988 through December 2023

Data presented here are profiles of primary CTD parameters (pressure, depth, temperature, and salinity) plus auxiliary measurements of dissolved oxygen, beam attenuation, relative fluorescence, and photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) at the BATS site (31° 40' N 64° 10'W) for years 1988-2023. Profiles were collected using a standard Sea-Bird SBE-09 plus CTD during the monthly core BATS cruises and near biweekly BATS bloom cruises during the months of February through April depending on ship availability. Data are processed following the methods of Knap et al., 1997 with the final product being reported as two decibar averages and all profiles for each cruise reported in a single cruise file. It should be noted that the two decibar profiles are reported for the downcast only and bottle marker data collected on the upcast are presented with the BATS bottle dataset.
