Bermuda Atlantic
Time-series Study

The Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study has collected data on the physical, biological and chemical properties of the ocean every month since 1988. BATS is funded through continuing awards from the National Science Foundation programs in chemical oceanography and biological oceanography in the Division of Ocean Sciences.

Facilities

BIOS is a state-of-the-art ocean science research facility outfitted with lab spaces, lecture halls and an oceanographic vessel – the R/V Atlantic Explorer.
