Abstract

Data presented here are discrete bottle samples from the Hydrostation S (or Panulirus) time series site located 20 km SE of Bermuda (32°10’N, 64°30’W) in the Sargasso Sea for January 1955 (cruise #9) through July 2024 (cruise #1478). Measurements were collected at near biweekly intervals where possible depending on weather and ship availability. Prior to the arrival of Weatherbird I in 1983, station occupation during winter months was limited due to the sea-going capabilities of the former vesse...

Hydrographic measurements from discrete water bottle samples collected at Hydrostation S located 25 km SE of Bermuda (32°10' N, 64°30' W).  Measurements have been collected since 1954 at the Panulirus hydrographic stations and include salinity, temperature, sigma theta, and dissolved oxygen.
