String acquisition_description
"MARMAP used mainly a fixed station design covering the sample area of each
survey approximately evenly (Sibunka and Silverman 1984, 1989).\\u00a0 EcoMon
sampled the same spatial extent of the shelf as MARMAP, but used a random-
stratified design based on the NEFSC bottom trawl survey design (Azarovitz
1981). The number of plankton strata (n = 47) is lower than the bottom trawl
survey (n = 108) as the narrow inshore stratum and the offshore shelf-break
stratum of the bottom trawl survey (Azarovitz 1981) are combined in the EcoMon
plankton sampling design.\\u00a0 The area encompassed by each stratum
determined the number of samples in that stratum.\\u00a0 The number of stations
sampled during an EcoMon survey is approximately 30 % less than that of
MARMAP.\\u00a0 Samples were collected four to eight times per year (primarily:
January-February, March-April, May-June, July-August, September-October, and
November-December) for each program (Richardson et al. 2010).
The basic station protocols were very similar for MARMAP and EcoMon (Jossi and
Marak 1983, Ejsymont and Sherman 2000).\\u00a0 Samples were collected both day
and night using a 61-cm bongo.\\u00a0 Net tow speed was approximately 1.5
knots. Double oblique tows were a minimum of 5-mintues in duration, and fished
from the surface to within 5-m of the seabed or to a maximum depth of 200-m.
The volume filtered of all collections was measured with mechanical flowmeters
mounted across the mouth of each net. Mesh size of the net differed between
the programs, and was 505-\\u03bcm during MARMAP and 333-\\u03bcm during
EcoMon.\\u00a0 Samples were preserved in 5% formalin.
Processing of most samples was conducted at the Morski Instytut Rybacki in
Szczecin, Poland; the remaining samples were processed at the NEFSC or the
Atlantic Reference Center, St Andrews, Canada. Larvae were identified to the
lowest possible taxon and enumerated for each sample. Plankton tows differ
with respect to volume of water filtered and maximum tow depth. In order to
make data values comparable, these values were normalized through the use of a
standard haul factor: h = z * 10 / v, where z = maximum tow depth (in meters)
and v = volume of water filtered (in meters cubed). Taxon abundance for each
station was standardized to number under 10 \\u2022 m-2 sea surface (Morse
1989).

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.
