Rainwater aluminum measurements of samples collected November 2018 to March 2020 at Tudor Hill, Bermuda as part of the Bermuda Atlantic Iron Timeseries project

Abstract

These data include total-dissolvable aluminum concentrations in rainwater and corresponding rainfall amounts for composite samples collected during approximately weekly intervals on the sampling tower at Tudor Hill, Bermuda, between November 2018 and March 2020. The data allow estimates of the wet deposition of aluminum to the Bermuda region over the period of the BAIT project, which included cruises in the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) region in March, May, August and November 2019. The rain samples were collected by staff of the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (the Tudor Hill tower facility is managed by Dr. Andrew Peters, with funding from NSF), and sample processing and analyses were completed in the laboratory of Dr. Peter Sedwick at Old Dominion University.
