BATS— Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study ... 

Fig. 5.21d shows the seasonal variability of titration alkalinity (TA) measured in the mixed-layer at SEATS site (South-East Asian Time-series Study, 18°15 N, 115°35 E). TA values vary from 2,190 to 2,220 j,mol/kg with higher values in January, July, and September and lower values in March, April, and November. The observed seasonal oscillation of TA is thus controlled primarily by the same factors affecting salinity. A similar relationship between TA and salinity is also documented at BATS (Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study, 31° 50 N, 64° 10 W) and HOT (Hawaii Ocean Time-series, 22°45 N, 158°00 W) sites (Bates et ah, 1998). However, as revealed in Fig. 5.21e, NTA remains variable throughout the year, suggesting the potential...
