String acquisition_description
"Zooplankton abundance, vertical and horizontal distribution, and population
structure were assessed using a 1 m^2 Multiple Opening and Closing Nets and
Environmental Sampling System (MOCNESS) with nine nets having 333 um mesh and
environmental sensors of temperature, salinity and depth. The entire water
column was sampled on the downcast using net # 0, which was not analyzed here.
The water column was typically sampled from close to the bottom at stations on
the shelf where depths were less than 1000 m, or to 1000m at stations off the
shelf where depths were often from 3000 to 4000 m. Nets 1 through 8 sampled
from various depth intervals to the surface with smaller strata near the
surface. Several tows targeted krill swarms by towing in a single strata.
Approximate locations of broadscale study stations are shown in Figs. 1-4,
below.
Zooplankton samples were immediately preserved in 5% buffered formalin
solution. In 2006, the samples were sent to the Atlantic Reference Centre,
Huntsman Marine Science Centre, St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada to be
sorted. All the large organisms (>15 mm) in the sample were removed and
identified to taxa. The sample was then split to about 100 individuals of
euphausiids. All euphausiids in the split were identified to species and life
history stage. Next, the sample was split to about 100 individuals of
copepods. Copepods were identified to species and life history stage (female,
male, copepodite V, or\\u00a0other copepodite). All other zooplankton in the
split were identified to taxa and counted. For the Euchaetidae, we followed
the designation of Park (1994) who ascribed the Antarctic species to the genus
Paraeuchaeta. This data object ('zooabund_nbp') reports the counts of
zooplankton per subsample/split by taxa and life stage or size class. The
companion data object 'zooabund_lmg' reports similar for the MOCNESS samples
collected on the L.M. Gould cruises and data object 'krill' reports the
abundance of each euphausiid species by life stage and size class, also on the
L. M. Gould.
Displacement volume measurement:
Entire sample plus liquid was measured in a large graduated cylinder then
poured through a sieve into a second cylinder. The difference in volume is the
displacement volume.
Greenwich Mean Time was local time + 4 hours.

A motor/toggle release assembly is mounted on the top portion of the frame and stainless steel cables with swaged fittings are used to attach the net bar to the toggle release. A stepping motor in a pressure compensated case filled with oil turns the escapement crankshaft of the toggle release which sequentially releases the nets to an open then closed position on command from the surface. -- from the MOCNESS Operations Manual (1999 + 2003).";

String projects_1_description "The U.S. Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC) program has the goal of understanding and ultimately predicting how populations of marine animal species respond to natural and anthropogenic changes in climate. Research in the Southern Ocean (SO) indicates strong coupling between climatic processes and ecosystem dynamics via the annual formation and destruction of sea ice. The Southern Ocean GLOBEC Program (SO GLOBEC) will investigate the dynamic relationship between physical processes and ecosystem responses through identification of critical parameters that affect the distribution, abundance and population dynamics of target species. The overall goals of the SO GLOBEC program are to elucidate shelf circulation processes and their effect on sea ice formation and krill distribution, and to examine the factors which govern krill survivorship and availability to higher trophic levels, including penguins, seals and whales. The focus of the U.S. contribution to the international SO GLOBEC program will be on winter processes. This component will focus on juvenile and adult krill and mesozooplankton prey distribution and abundance using a sophisticated instrument package, BIOMAPPER II, which is equipped with an acoustic backscatter sonar system, a video plankton recorder and an environmental sensor system. The system is used in large-scale studies. Additionally, a remotely-operative vehicle will be used to map the distribution and behavior of krill under ice. The result of the integrated SO GLOBEC program will be to improve the predictability of living marine resources, especially with respect to local and global climatic shifts.";

Data Access Protocol (DAP) and its
selection constraints.
The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names,
followed by a collection of
constraints (e.g., variable<value),
each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").
For details, see the tabledap Documentation.
