Concentrations of trace metals and dissolved macronutrients and CTD sensor data from four cruises in the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) region in March, May, August and November 2019

Abstract

These data include the concentrations of trace metals (dissolved and soluble iron, dissolved and soluble manganese, dissolved aluminum) and dissolved macronutrients (nitrate+nitrite, phosphate, reactive silicate) determined in water-column samples collected using a trace-metal clean CTD rosette, or an inflatable dinghy, during four cruises in the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) region in March, May, August and November 2019. Also presented are CTD sensor data (pressure, temperature, salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence, dissolved oxygen) and derived variables (water depth, density) corresponding to the CTD-rosette bottle samples. The samples and associated data were collected for the BAIT project (GEOTRACES Process Study GApr13). Post-cruise sample analyses were performed at Old Dominion University (trace metals) and the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (macronutrients).
