Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS 🦇)

Long term time-series study examining the physical, chemical and biological properties of the ocean. | Data collected every month since 1988

[Leocadio Blanco-Bercial @MIZ_BIOS]

New paper - with @LuSantof and her lab!
We studied the distribution and ecological affinities of #ciliates (#protists) at @BatsBermuda in the epi and mesopelagic, as part of our @SimonsFdn and #NSFfunded research.
The photic‐aphotic divide on ciliates! https://t.co/BVVuCfvRtb

We’ve reached BATS cruise 400! 🎉

Finally, I just want to thank my coauthors, @bentemperton for all his support and everybody at @BatsBermuda + BIOS-SCOPE and @PlymouthMarine for their extraordinary work monitoring the ocean and generating fascinating data.

Doing some outdoor exploring the day before our cruise with @BatsBermuda !

Here we go again! Another #NSFfunded time at sea, together with the @BatsBermuda team. Assembling the MOCNESS with @rochi_rodriguez - leaving tomorrow morning!

Data from @BatsBermuda was used in a recent @nature paper exploring the #ocean’s #microbiome with an eye to how it might serve as a reservoir of biosynthetic and natural products #timeseries #datascience https://t.co/bCjVqsyCrh

Our friends from @BIOSstation deploying one of our Spotter metocean buoys during their monthly Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) cruise! @BatsBermuda has collected ocean data every month since 1988 (!).

Just about time to depart. #TRoL cruise piggybacking on @BatsBermuda with lead PI @EricWeb65737594 @anjbhatnagar @cyanocatie Shelby Barnes #NSFfunded

[Cameron Thrash @jcamthrash]

The @BatsBermuda team continues their myriad measurements, @cyanocatie @shelbyjbarnes1 @anjbhatnagar @EricWeb65737594 have picked hundreds of Tricho colonies, and we got another great sunset. #TRoL #NSFfunded

Happy Birthday Hydrostation ‘S’!
The time series is 68 years old today

Initiated in 1954 to further understanding on the physical nature of the ocean. Data has been collected here for the past 68 years, making it the longest running oceanographic time-series for physical data.

[Leocadio Blanco-Bercial @MIZ_BIOS]

And there they went! Into another cruise, joining the @BatsBermuda team! Good luck @LadyZoop @rochi_rodriguez @yniimi808 with the mocness tows and experiments! This is part of a #NSFfunded joint project between @BIOSstation and @ASUBiodesign

[BIOS | Arizona State University @BIOSstation]

Researchers from @GEOMAR_en with the BIOS-SCOPE project are tracking the movement of #carbon within the base of the #marine food web, as well as the rates of grazing by mixotrophic protists on the #phytoplankton species (& other microbes) at BATS https://t.co/XLNJpqULxc

[Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS 🦇) @BatsBermuda]

Exciting deployment today on the BATS cruise…our new sediment trap racks!!
Designed by BATS tech Dom Smith, these bespoke racks were created to hold the new sediment trap tubes designed by former BATS tech Matt Hayden.
We might be an old time series but we love new ideas!

[BIOS | Arizona State University @BIOSstation]

Meet part of the shipboard team that keeps the BATS time-series program running smoothly, both at sea during monthly #research cruises and back in the #lab. https://t.co/EFCJ5KePUg #WomenInSTEM #oceanography

4 MOCNESS tows done ✅ at BATS station and Hydrostation. Let’s see what kind of critters we get from these tows! @BatsBermuda @BIOSstation #Zooplankton
