BIOS Time Series Helps Scientists Confirm Ocean Acidification

a conductivity, temperature, and depth sensor

In a unique collaboration researchers from around the globe have studied data from seven time-series and found that despite the varying geographic locations, each of the time-series sites exhibited similar changes in ocean chemistry due to anthropogenic CO2, confirming what many scientists have believed for years: ocean acidification is indeed changing ocean chemistry

The Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) Celebrates A Quarter Century of Science

BATS, CTD

By the end of its first decade, BATS supported 60 different research groups conducting time-series projects near Bermuda, with many scientists using BATS data to make fundamental discoveries about the cycling of trace metals and their relationship with ocean biology, the role of eddies in the cycling of nutrients, and the role of the ocean in the global carbon cycle
