    String acquisition_description 
"Little Lagoon is a shallow coastal lagoon that is tidally connected to the
Gulf of Mexico but has no riverine inputs. The water in the lagoon is
replenished solely from precipitation and groundwater inputs primarily on the
East end (Su et al. 2012). Because of the rapid development in Baldwin County,
a large amount of NO3- enters the Little Lagoon system through SGD (Murgulet &
Tick 2008). In this region, there can be rapid changes in the depth to
groundwater (Fig. 4.1 inset) and episodic SGD inputs to the lagoon (Su et
al.2013). Within the lagoon, three sites were selected (East, Mouth, and West)
to represent the gradient that exists across the lagoon from the input of
groundwater. Sites were sampled on a near-monthly basis from February 2012 to
February 2013.
 
Benthic fluxes from intact sediment cores
 
At each site triplicate intact sediment cores (270 mm x 95 mm ID; 190 mm
sediment, 50 mm water column) were collected and setup in a flow-through
system (Lavrentyev et al. 2000) in a darkened environmental chamber set to the
average site temperature within 8 hours of collection. The flow-through system
consisted of a multichannel proportioning pump that sent 0.7 micron filtered
and ~100 \\u03bcM Na15NO3 - (99 atom %) enriched site water
(\\u201cinflow\\u201d) at a continuous flow rate (1.2 mL min-1) to the overlying
water above the sediment surface. The positive displacement of the overlying
water exited the core through an outflow tube (\\u201coutflow\\u201d) and
collected in a reservoir. The volume of water overlying each sediment core was
exchanged five times during a 24-hour incubation period to equilibrate the
cores (Eyre et al. 2002). After the initial 24 hours, triplicate inflow and
outflow samples were collected at 36 hours for dissolved gas and nutrient
analysis. Dissolved gas analysis followed the modified Isotope pairing
technique (IPT) (Nielsen 1992, Risgaard-Petersen et al. 2003). In this
approach, rates of 29N2 and 30N2 production from 15NO3 - are quantified and
used to calculate rates of 14N2 production (p14) (equation 1, below); when
combined with 15N tracer slurry incubations (below), rates of anammox, and the
relative contribution of anammox and denitrification to p14 can be determined
(equations 2-4, below).
 
Water samples were collected in 12 mL Exetainers, allowing the vial to
overflow two times the tube volume prior to preservation with 250 \\u03bcL of
50% (w/v) ZnCl2 before being capped. Samples were stored under water in the
environmental chamber until dissolved gas analysis on a membrane inlet mass
spectrometer (MIMS) equipped with a copper reduction column set at 600oC to
remove oxygen (O2) (Kana et al. 1998, Eyre et al. 2002). Benthic nutrient flux
samples were filtered (0.7 micron) and immediately frozen until DIN (NO2 -,
NO3 -, NH4 +) and PO4 3- analyses as described above.
 
Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) was measured from oxygen concentrations in inflow
and outflow water analyzed with a calibrated microelectrode and a Unisense
\\u00ae multimeter analyzer. Denitrification and benthic flux calculations
(\\u03bcmol m-2 hr-1) determined flux into or out of the sediment using the
influent and effluent concentrations, flow rate (1.2 ml min-1), and the
surface area of the sediment (0.00708 m-2). All rates and fluxes pertaining to
N species are expressed on a N atom basis. A positive flux indicates release
from the sediments to the water column and a negative flux indicates uptake by
the sediment.

The PIs have previously demonstrated that the lagoon is a hot-spot for toxic blooms of the diatom Pseudo-nitzchia spp. that are correlated with discharge from the surficial aquifer. This project assessed variability in SGD, the dependence of benthic nutrient fluxes on microphytobenthos (MPB) abundance and productivity, and the response of the phytoplankton to nutrient enrichment and dilution. The work integrated multiple temporal and spatial scales and demonstrated both the relative importance of SGD vs. benthic recycling as a source of nutrients, and the role of SGD in structuring the microalgal community.

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.

(easy) You can get data by using the dataset's Data Access Form or Subset form. They make the URL for you.
(easy) You can make a graph or map by using the dataset's Make A Graph form. It makes the URL for you.
(not hard) You can bypass the forms and get the data or make a graph or map by generating the URL by hand or with a computer program or script.

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.
