String acquisition_description
"Sampling was performed aboard the RV Blue Heron during cruise BH15-11, which
sailed from Duluth MN to Duluth MN during August 2015. Best-practice metal-
clean protocols were followed to the greatest extent possible before, during,
and after the cruise using only acid-washed sample containers, filters,
labware, etc. Particulate sampling comprised one cast at FWM and two casts at
WM. The first water drawn from each Nisken was used to fill a 20 mL high-
density polyethylene bottle for analysis of total dissolvable barium
concentrations and barium-isotopic compositions; the remaining water (~8 L)
was transferred to 10 L low-density polyethylene cubitainers to be taken below
deck for filtration.
Samples were filtered immediately after collection using negative pressure
from a central vacuum line. Each sample was drawn across a polyethersulphone
filter membrane (0.45 \\u03bcm cutoff) from a collapsible cubitainer. Filters
were held in place using acid-cleaned Swinnex filter holders (EMD Millipore)
and connected to the tubing lines with Luer taper fittings; filters were
stored before and after use in sealed polycarbonate petri slide holders and
manipulated using plastic forceps. Filtration proceeded for a minimum of three
hours or until the filters clogged, at which point the filters were removed
from their holders, stored, and the water level recorded; filtered volumes
ranged from 0.5-3 L.
Particulate samples were prepared for analysis by leaching in 0.6 M
hydrochloric acid at 80 \\u00b0C for \\u226516 hours. Total dissolvable (i.e.
unfiltered) samples were weighed and acidified with hydrochloric acid to a
concentration of 0.01 M. Samples were left to equilibrate for several months
before any sample processing took place.
Following multi-element geochemical analyses\\u2014but before ion-exchange
chromatography\\u2014all samples were dried and spiked with an appropriate
amount of barium double spike to ensure the ratio of spike- to sample-derived
barium was between one and two. Samples were additionally fluxed in a 1:1
mixture of concentrated hydrogen peroxide and nitric acid for \\u226516 hours
at 135 \\u00b0C to oxidize any organic matter in the sample that could
interfere with column chemistry or mass spectrometry.
Problem report:
Two minor issues to note:
- The shallowest particulate samples contained insufficient barium to
perform a precise isotopic measurement. As such, samples from these depths
were \\u2018pooled\\u2019 to yield a depth-integrated value; the depth noted for
these pooled samples reflects the average depth of the pooled sample, weighted
by the fractional contribution to the total (measured) barium present in each
pooled sample. This pooling does not apply to the multi-element geochemical
data as these measurements were performed on separate aliquots.
\\- One sample yielded an anomalous total particulate titanium concentration
(002.02.12) and one sample yielded an anomalous total particulate aluminum
concentration (002.02.10); these have been listed as \\u2018nd\\u2019.";

"NSF Award Abstract:
This proposal to fund a research training cruise on the University of Minnesota's R/V Blue Heron for early career scientists from the Great Lakes basin. The proposed work will have two goals: 1) teach early career lacustrine scientists how to acquire, plan for, and manage cruises aboard UNOLS ships, possibly having some impact on the long-term decrease in requests for ship time on UNOLS ships in general; and 2) expose members of the Great Lakes scientific community, which has an abysmally low submittal rate of proposals to NSF requesting UNOLS ships, to UNOLS and the academic fleet. This project mirrors the successful Chief Scientist training program that Dr. Claire Reimers at Oregon State University has run on ocean-going ships such as the R/V Wecoma, New Horizon and Endeavor.
Intellectual Merit :
The training cruise envisioned herein will allow early career scientists to collect seed data
and test hypotheses for future proposals to NSF.
Broader Impacts :
This proposal intends to educate the next generation of researchers about the capabilities
of UNOLS. This type of outreach between UNOLS and potential users is not only important for
the broader scientific community, but doubly important for the Great Lakes community which
seems resistant to using assets like the UNOLS fleet.";

"NSF Award Abstract:
Human observations of Earth's climate span only a narrow window of Earth History. Understanding how and why Earth's climate changed before human observations can be overcome through the measurement and interpretation of the chemical composition of marine sediments. Accurate interpretation of these records -- also known as \"proxy\" records, because they stand in for direct measurements of environmental conditions in the past -- first requires that the behavior of the proxy be properly calibrated against direct observations in modern environments. This project will develop a novel proxy for marine nutrient utilization based on a comprehensive characterization of the chemical composition of particulate organic matter in the Southern Ocean. The formation and export of organic matter in the ocean requires nutrients, consumes carbon, and can influence the global air-sea balance of carbon dioxide. New proxies and calibrations offer novel ways of looking at Earth's climate history and can potentially illuminate interactions within marine ecosystems.
The efficiency of the biological carbon pump depends critically on the availability and utilization of marine nutrients, particularly in the Southern Ocean. However, ambiguity in, and disagreement between current nutrient utilization paleoproxies renders reconstruction of past nutrient regimes uncertain. Cadmium -- a known proxy for phosphate -- offers a means to circumvent many of the known limitations of existing nutrient proxies, but requires a full isotopic characterization before its application. In this project, researchers will trace the stable isotopic composition of cadmium recorded in organic matter using multiple collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The researchers will make isotopic measurements across numerous surface nutrient regimes in the Southern Ocean, with a focus on three critical geochemical transitions: the formation of organic carbon at the sea surface, its transit and decomposition through the ocean's interior, and its behavior during burial on the sea floor. This sea surface-to-sea floor calibration will thus comprehensively determine the utility and fidelity of a novel nutrient proxy, allowing a more accurate view of how Earth's climate was related to ocean biogeochemistry in the past.";

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.
