To embody this understanding in diagnostic and prognostic ecosystem models, capable of capturing the ecosystem response to major climatic fluctuations. Approach: To study the effects of past and present climate variability on the population ecology and population dynamics of marine biota and living marine resources, and to use this information as a proxy for how the ecosystems of the eastern North Pacific may respond to future global climate change. The strong temporal variability in the physical and biological signals of the NEP will be used to examine the biophysical mechanisms through which zooplankton and salmon populations respond to physical forcing and biological interactions in the coastal regions of the two gyres. Annual and interannual variability will be studied directly through long-term observations and detailed process studies; variability at longer time scales will be examined through retrospective analysis of directly measured and proxy data. Coupled biophysical models of the ecosystems of these regions will be developed and tested using the process studies and data collected from the long-term observation programs, then further tested and improved by hindcasting selected retrospective data series."; String projects_0_geolocation "Northeast Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Alaska"; String projects_0_name "U.S. GLOBEC Northeast Pacific"; String projects_0_project_nid "2038"; String projects_0_project_website "http://nepglobec.bco-dmo.org"; String projects_0_start_date "1997-01"; String publisher_name "Biological and Chemical Oceanographic Data Management Office (BCO-DMO)"; String publisher_type "institution"; String sourceUrl "(local files)"; Float64 Southernmost_Northing 38.29; String standard_name_vocabulary "CF Standard Name Table v55"; String subsetVariables "sample_id,min_sample_depth,gear_type,gear_area_m2,gear_mesh"; String summary "Vertical Plankton Tow (VPT) data from 1997 - 2003 from multiple cruises from the Northeast Pacific, California Current System"; String title "[Vertical Plankton Tow - VPT] - Vertical Plankton Tow (VPT) data from 1997 - 2003 from multiple cruises from the Northeast Pacific, California Current System (NEP project) (U.S. GLOBEC Northeast Pacific)"; String version "1"; Float64 Westernmost_Easting -126.19; String xml_source "osprey2erddap.update_xml() v1.3"; } }

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.
