String acquisition_description
"4-L samples for analysis of water column 234Th concentrations were typically
taken at 12 depths spanning the upper 150 m on two casts per experimental
cycle. On two cycles in the core of the CRD, an additional set of 8 samples
was taken to assess 234Th deficiency down to 500-m depth. Samples were
analyzed by standard small volume procedures (Benitez-Nelson et al. 2001,
Buesseler et al. 2001, Pike et al. 2005). Immediately after collection,
samples were acidified to a pH < 2 with concentrated HNO3, spiked with 1 mL
230Th tracer (0.17 Bq mL-1), shaken vigorously, and allowed to equilibrate for
4-9 hours. Samples were then basified to a pH of 8-9 with NH4OH. 100 uL each
of KMnO4 (7.5 g L-1) and MnCl2 (33 g L-1) were added and samples were shaken
then allowed to sit for >8 hours as Th co-precipitated with manganese oxide.
Samples were then filtered at high pressure onto a quartz microfiber (QMA)
filter, dried in a drying oven, and mounted into RISO sample holders for beta
counting.
Samples were beta counted at the University of South Carolina on a RISO low-
level beta multi-counter within two months of the collection date. After an
additional 8 months, samples were recounted to determine background beta
emissions. Detector efficiency was calibrated using four samples taken from
2000-m depth (in water columns exceeding 3000-m depth), which were assumed to
be at equilibrium with respect to 234Th and 238U. After background counts
yield analyses were conducted as follows. Manganese oxide precipitate was
dissolved from filters in 10 mL 8M HNO3/10% H2O2. 1 mL of 229Th (1.66 Bq g-1)
tracer was then added gravimetrically, and the sample was sonicated for 20
minutes and allowed to sit for >6 hours. An aliquot of this solution was then
filtered through a 0.1-mm syringe filter and diluted with 2.2M HNO3/1%HF for
mass spec analysis of the 229:230Th tracer ratio at the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution Analytical Facility.";

"Research was aimed at improved understanding of plankton dynamics, carbon and nutrient fluxes, and potential trace element limitation in the Costa Rica Dome region of the eastern tropical Pacific. The specific science objectives of the 2010 R/V Melville cruise (MV1008) were:
1) to assess grazing and trace metal/nutrient controls on primary production and phytoplankton standing stocks;
2) to quantify carbon and elemental fluxes and export rates from the euphotic zone; and
3) to measure microbial population, processes, stable isotope abundances associated with the OMZ and nitrite maxima.
Additional information about MV1008 can be found in the cruise report (PDF).
NOTE: The original proposal and award abstract are not relevant. The project was originally funded by NSF as experimental tests of phytoplankton controls in the Arabian Sea. Piracy concerns in the region led to the cancellation of the research cruise in 2009, and a Change of Scope request was approved to focus the project on related issues in the Costa Rica Dome (CRD).
Though this project is not formally affiliated with any large program, it aligns with IMBER's emphasis on community ecology and biogeochemistry, and the OCB focus on carbon-based measurements of production, grazing and export processes.";

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").
