String acquisition_description
"Multiple deployments of two Sea-Bird Scientific Navis BGCi floats (numbers
F033 and F034) equipped with CTDs, transmissometers, O2 optodes,
backscattering (700 nm), fluorescence (chlorophyll, colored dissolved organic
matter), and tilt sensors were conducted between July 2013 and November 2014
in conjunction with Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study cruises. Short-term
deployments (1.5 \\u2013 3 days) followed by recovery of the floats were
conducted during four monthly BATS cruises in July \\u2013 October 2013 and one
cruise in March 2014. Both floats were deployed during the July and August
2013 cruises and float F034 was deployed for the remaining cruises. Each float
collected one profile per cruise with the exception of the August 2013 cruise,
during which the two floats together collected 13 profiles. During short-term
deployments, floats first completed an initial descent and ascent without
parking, then completed 1 or 2 more profile cycles with different, consecutive
target depths. Following the initial descent/ascent described above, the
short-term profile cycles were structured as described below for long-term
deployments. In addition to the short-term cruise deployments, F033 profiled
continuously from October 2013 until early April 2014, yielding 77 profiles,
and F034 profiled continuously from March 2014 until late November 2014,
yielding 139 profiles. During these long-term deployments, a typical cycle
consisted of 1) the descent to the target park depth, 2) a park phase at the
target depth lasting 1.5 \\u2013 2.5 days during which measurements are made
every 15 minutes, 3) a descent to 1000 dbar, 4) an ascent to the surface
during which measurements are made, and 5) a surface telemetry phase, during
which a GPS fix is obtained, data are uploaded via Iridium, and instructions
for the next cycle are downloaded. During long-term deployments, floats cycled
through park phases at 150/200, 300, 500, and 1000 dbar every 7 days, spending
2.5 days at 1000 dbar and 1.5 days at the shallower depths. The sequence of
park phase depth at the three shallowest depths was varied between each 7-day
cycle over a 21-day period to avoid aliasing in particle flux profiles.

String projects_0_description
"Particles settling into the deep ocean remove carbon and biologically-important trace elements from sunlit, productive surface waters and from contact with the atmosphere over short timescales. A shifting balance among physical, chemical, and biological processes determines the ultimate fate of most particles at depths between 100 and 1,000 m, where fluxes are hardest to measure. Our challenge is to expand the number of particle flux observations in the critical \"twilight zone\", something that has proven elusive with ship-based “snapshots” that have lengths of, at most, a few weeks. Here, we propose an optical, transmissometer-based method to make particle flux observations from autonomous, biogeochemical profiling floats. Novel developments in data interpretation, sensor operation, and platform control now allow flux measurements at hourly resolution and give us observational access to the water-column processes driving particle flux over short timescales. The sensors and float platforms that we propose to use are simple, robust, and commercially-available, making them immediately compatible with community-scale efforts to implement other float-based biogeochemical measurements.
We have two main goals: First, we will quantify particulate organic carbon (POC) flux using float-based optical measurements by validating our observations against fluxes measured directly with neutrally-buoyant, drifting sediment traps. Second, we will evaluate the contribution of rapid export events to total POC fluxes in the oligotrophic ocean by using a biogeochemical profiling float to collect nearly-continuous, depth-resolved flux measurements and coupled, water-column bio-optical profiles.
To achieve these goals, we will implement a work plan consisting of 1) a set of laboratory-based sensor calibration experiments to determine detection limits and evaluate sensitivity to particle size; 2) a series of four sediment trap and biogeochemical float co-deployments during which we will collect POC flux and field calibration data; and 3) a long-term sampling and analysis period (approximately 1 year) during which data will be returned by satellite from the biogeochemical float. We will conduct calibration fieldwork in conjunction with monthly Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) cruises, taking advantage of the timeseries measurements and the context provided by the 25-year record of POC flux at that site. The data returned by the float will comprise the first quantitative particle flux observations made at high-enough temporal resolution to interpret in the context of short-term, upper-ocean production events.";

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.
