"Cultures:\\u00a0Pleurochrysis carterae\\u00a0cultures were maintained in
exponential growth phase under axenic conditions in semi-continuous batch
culture using L1-Si media prepared on 0.2 um-filtered, UV-sterilized,
autoclaved seawater.\\u00a0 Cultures were acclimated to one of
three\\u00a0pCO2\\u00a0treatments for > 9 generations before experiments were
performed.\\u00a0 Cultures were maintained in an incubator at 16.5 +/- 0.5 deg
C and 470 umol photons/m-2/s\\u00a0PAR.
 
pCO2: Carbonate chemistry was manipulated by bubbling cultures and prepared
media with 500 mL/min\\u00a0with 0.2 um-filtered 280, 380, or 750
ppm\\u00a0pCO2\\u00a0air.\\u00a0 The\\u00a0pCO2\\u00a0levels of the treatment air
were established using two mass flow controllers (Aalborg, Orangeburg, NY,
USA) for each treatment to precisely mix in-house compressed air and pure
CO2\\u00a0(Maine Oxy, Auburn, ME, USA).\\u00a0 The in-house compressed air was
stripped of CO2\\u00a0to less than 10 ppm CO2\\u00a0using a Puregas VCD
CO2\\u00a0Adsorber (Puregas, LLC, Broomfield, CO, USA).\\u00a0
The\\u00a0pCO2\\u00a0of the gas mixtures was stable to +/- 8
ppm.\\u00a0\\u00a0pCO2\\u00a0values of the cultures may be different than the
target levels due to biological activity.
 
Dissolution of existing coccoliths:\\u00a0 Coccoliths were dissolved by 1.75 M
HCl to drop the pH to 5.5 for 2 min.\\u00a0 Following the dissolution (de-
lithing), 1.75 M NaOH was added to bring the pH back to the respective
starting pH.\\u00a0 Dissolution of coccoliths was immediately confirmed by
looking at the cells under cross-polarized light microscopy to verify the
absence of birefringence indicative of CaCO3.\\u00a0 Dissolution was further
confirmed by filtering the acidified/neutralized sample onto a 0.4 um
polycarbonate filter.\\u00a0 Filters were mounted on stubs, sputter-coated with
gold using a Denton Desk IV sputter coater (Denton Vacuum, Moorestown, NJ,
USA), and imaged on a Zeiss Supra25 field emission scanning electron
microscope (Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC, Thornwood, NY, USA).\\u00a0 At least 15
cells per sample were imaged and the number of coccoliths/cell\\u00a0was
manually counted to determine the number of coccoliths that remained after the
acidification/neutralization dissolution step.
 
24 h incubation in either light or dark conditions:\\u00a0 To determine the
number of coccoliths formed (as a proxy for calcification rate) in 24 h in
either light or dark conditions, for each\\u00a0pCO2\\u00a0level, 15 mL of de-
lithed culture were added to 8 scintillation vials.\\u00a0 Three vials were
\\u2018light\\u2019 replicates, three vials were \\u2018dark\\u2019 replicates,
and two vials were poisoned with buffered formalin to serve as a
\\u2018light\\u2019 blank and a \\u2018dark\\u2019 blank.\\u00a0 Dark replicate and
blank vials were covered in black aluminum foil and all vials were incubated
together for 24 h in an incubator set at 16.5 +/- 0.5 deg C and 470 umol
photons/m-2/s\\u00a0PAR on a 14-10 h light-dark cycle.\\u00a0The experiment was
timed to start when the lights in the incubator turned on in the morning, thus
the \\u2018light\\u2019 replicates were exposed to light for 14 of 24 h.\\u00a0
 
Determination of attached coccoliths:\\u00a0\\u00a0Coccolith formation was
assessed by counting the number of coccoliths formed during the incubation
period.\\u00a0 After the 24 h incubation period, each replicate and blank vial
was filtered onto a 0.4 um polycarbonate filters.\\u00a0 Filters were mounted
on stubs, sputter-coated with gold using a Denton Desk IV sputter coater
(Denton Vacuum, Moorestown, NJ, USA), and imaged on a Zeiss Supra25 field
emission SEM (Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC, Thornwood, NY, USA).\\u00a0 At least
15 cells per replicate were imaged and the number of coccoliths/cell\\u00a0was
manually counted.\\u00a0 The counted coccoliths represented calcification
during the 24 h incubation period and the average number of coccoliths per
cell for each replicate and blank is reported.";

"(Extracted from the NSF award abstract)
Ocean acidification is one of the most pressing marine science issues of our time, with potential biological impacts spanning all marine phyla and potential societal impacts affecting man's relationship to the sea. Rising levels of atmospheric pCO2 are increasing the acidity of the world oceans. It is generally held that average surface ocean pH has already declined by 0.1 pH units relative to the pre-industrial level (Orr et al., 2005), and is projected to decrease 0.3 to 0.46 units by the end of this century, depending on CO2 emission scenarios (Caldeira and Wickett, 2005). The overall goal of this research is to parameterize how changes in pCO2 levels could alter the biological and alkalinity pumps of the world ocean. Specifically, the direct and indirect effects of ocean acidification will be examined within a simple, controlled predator/prey system containing a single prey phytoplankton species (the coccolithophore, Emiliania huxleyi) and a single predator (the oceanic metazoan grazer, Calanus finmarchicus). The experiments are designed to elucidate both direct effects (i.e. effects of ocean acidification on the individual organisms only) and interactive effects (i.e. effects on the combined predator/prey system). Interactive experiments with phytoplankton prey and zooplankton predator are a critical starting point for predicting the overall impact of ocean acidification in marine ecosystems. To meet these goals, a state-of-the-art facility will be constructed with growth chambers that are calibrated and have highly-controlled pH and alkalinity levels. The strength of this approach lies in meticulous calibration and redundant measurements that will be made to ensure that conditions within the chambers are well described and tightly monitored for DIC levels. Growth and calcification rates in coccolithophores and the developmental rates, morphological and behavioral effects on copepods will be measured. The PIC and POC in the algae and the excreted fecal pellets will be monitored for changes in the PIC/POC ratio, a key parameter for modeling feedback mechanisms for rising pCO2 levels. In addition, 14C experiments are planned to measure calcification rates in coccolithophores and dissolution rates as a result of grazing. These key experiments will verify closure in the mass balance of PIC, allowing the determination of actual dissolution rates of PIC within the guts of copepod grazers.";

Using tabledap to Request Data and Graphs from Tabular Datasets

tabledap lets you request a data subset, a graph, or a map from a tabular dataset (for example, buoy data), via a specially formed URL. tabledap uses the OPeNDAP (external link) Data Access Protocol (DAP) (external link) and its selection constraints (external link).

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.
