"Refer to the following paper for complete methodology:  
 Meyerhof, M. et al. 2016.\\u00a0Microbial community diversity, structure and
assembly across oxygen gradients in meromictic marine lakes, Palau.
Environmental Microbiology.
doi:[10.1111/1462-2920.13416](\\\\\"https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/1462-2920.13416\\\\\")
 
In summary (extracted from above paper):  
 We studied five meromictic lakes in Palau: Spooky Lake (SLM), Goby Lake
(GLK), Ongeim\\u2019l Tketau Lake (OTM, known colloquially as Jellyfish Lake),
Clear Lake (CLM) and Ngermeuangel Lake (NLK). One holomictic lake (Mekeald
Lake; MLN) and an ocean site at the German Channel on the southwestern side of
the islands (OS-GC) were also sampled for comparison. We vertically profiled
dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, pH, chlorophyll fluorescence and
salinity/conductivity using a HydroLab DS5 (Hach Company, Loveland, CO, USA)
and sampled three depth layers within each meromictic lake: the mixolimnion
(0\\u20135 m depth), the monimolimnion (5\\u201320 m depth) and intermediate
depths near the chemocline; these intermediate depths ranged from 1 to 15 m,
depending on the depth of the chemocline within the individual lakes. We
sampled comparable depths at MLN (5\\u201320 m) and OS-GC (5\\u201330 m). For
QPCR analysis of functional genes (dsrA, amoA and nirS) and specific
functional groups, as well as analysis dissolved nutrient concentrations, we
collected additional samples above and below the chemocline to capture abrupt
transitions in biogeochemical conditions across this interface.
 
Samples were collected from small boats using a horizontal, 2.5 L GoFlo bottle
(General Oceanics, Miami, FL, USA), transferred to 1 L polycarbonate bottles,
and stored in the dark during transit to the Coral Reef Research Foundation
laboratory in Koror, Palau. Water samples were filtered using a peristaltic
pump and 0.22 um Durapore PVDF hydrophilic filters (Millipore, Billerica, MA,
USA). Filters were immediately frozen in 800 uL Sucrose-Tris-EDTA (STE) lysis
buffer (750 mM sucrose, 20 mM EDTA, 400 mM NaCl and 50 mM Tris) in 2 mL Lysing
Matrix E tubes (MP Biomedicals, Solon, OH, USA), and stored at -20 C until
transport to the United States, where they were stored at -80 C until
extraction (Dry ice and liquid nitrogen are not readily available in Palau.)
 
During sample filtration, 50 mL of filtrate was collected in high density
polyethylene bottles for subsequent nutrient analysis at the University of
California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) Marine Analytical Laboratory. Samples were
analyzed for ammonium (UCSB MAL analytical method for ammonium, see below;
Diamond and Huberty, 1996), nitrite (Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Method 353.2; Schroeder, 1997), nitrite+nitrate (EPA Method 353.2; Diamond,
1997) and phosphate (EPA Method 365.1; Huberty and Diamond, 1998), on a Lachat
QuikChem 8000 Flow Injection Analyzer (Hach Company, Loveland, CO, USA). A
handful of samples containing large concentrations of sulfide were not
analyzed for nitrate, as sulfide damages the cadmium reduction column. For
ammonium analysis, each sample was injected into a flowing carrier stream
through an injection valve, and then merged with an alkaline solution stream;
the produced ammonia was diffused through a hydrophobic, gas-permeable
membrane into a recipient stream containing a pH indicator. Colour change
occurs in the indicator solution due to an increase in pH, and the
concentration of ammonia was determined spectrophotometrically based on
absorption at 570 nm. For all analyses, a mid-range check standard bracketed
every 20 samples to verify the accuracy of the measurements, and samples that
were detected outside of the standards\\u2019 range were diluted 1:10 and
reanalyzed. Detection limits were 0.10 uM for phosphate, 0.10 uM for nitrite,
0.20 uM for nitrite+nitrate and 0.10 uM for ammonium.";

"This project will survey the taxonomic, genetic, and functional diversity of the organisms found in marine lakes, and investigate the processes that cause gains and losses in this biodiversity. Marine lakes formed as melting ice sheets raised sea level after the last glacial maximum and flooded hundreds of inland valleys around the world. Inoculated with marine life from the surrounding sea and then isolated to varying degrees for the next 6,000 to 15,000 years, these marine lakes provide multiple, independent examples of how environments and interactions between species can drive extinction and speciation. Researchers will survey the microbes, algae, invertebrates, and fishes present in 40 marine lakes in Palau and Papua, and study how diversity has changed over time by retrieving the remains of organisms preserved in sediments on the lake bottoms. The project will test whether the number of species, the diversity of functional roles played by organisms, and the genetic diversity within species increase and decrease in parallel; whether certain species can greatly curtail diversity by changing the environment; whether the size of a lake determines its biodiversity; and whether the processes that control diversity in marine organisms are similar to those that operate on land.
Because biodiversity underlies the ecosystem services on which society depends, society has a great interest in understanding the processes that generate and retain biodiversity in nature. This project will also help conserve areas of economic importance. Marine lakes in the study region are important for tourism, and researchers will work closely with governmental and non-governmental conservation and education groups and with diving and tourism businesses to raise awareness of the value and threats to marine lakes in Indonesia and Palau.";

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.
