String acquisition_description
"In May 2015 and 2016, skeletal cores were collected from 39 colonies of
Siderastrea siderea and 31 colonies of Pseudodiploria strigosa at four pairs
of inner-outer reef sites spanning the Florida Keys Reef Tract. All cores were
extracted from the vertical growth axis of each coral colony using a CS Unitec
model 2 1335 0010 hydraulic drill affixed with hollow extension rods and a 5
cm diameter wet diamond core bit. Collected cores were then stored in capped
PVC tubes filled with 100% EtOH and transported to the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill where they were air dried in preparation for
sclerochronology development. To assess coral skeletal growth histories, all
cores were scanned using X-ray computed tomography (CT) on a Siemens Biograph
CT scanner at the Biomedical Research Imaging Center, University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. Coral cores were oriented lengthwise in rows of 4 to
5 on the scanning table, and equipment parameters were set to 120 kV, 250 mAs
and 0.6 mm slice thickness with images reconstructed at 0.1 mm increments
using the H70h \\u201cVery Sharp Spine\\u201d window.
All images were exported from the CT scanner as DICOM files, which were then
3-dimensionally reconstructed using the open-access Horos v2.0.2 medical image
viewing software. High- and low-density bands were visualized using a 10-mm
thick \\u2018Mean\\u2019 projection oriented as a rectangular prism through the
center of each core. All boundaries between semiannual density bands were
delineated manually and three sets of linear transects were drawn down the
length of the cores using the Region of Interest (ROI) tool in Horos. Note,
each set of transects was drawn within the exothecal space between corallite
walls in order to standardize density measurements and to avoid aberrant
density spikes in areas where the transect may otherwise have crossed a high-
density corallite wall. Density and calcification measurements are therefore
lower than would be expected if all features of the skeletal architecture were
taken into account. Additionally, it has been shown that individual colonies
may vary in their timing of high- and low-density band deposition due to
intraspecific differences in tissue thickness and morphology (Barnes and
Lough, 1996; Carricart-Ganivet, 2013). Thus, to approximate a consistent time
standard between cores, we begin all chronologies at the top of the first
fully deposited density band beneath the band of terminal growth. By-pixel
density measurements were extracted from linear transects and average density
was calculated for each semiannual high- and low-density band. Following
DeCarlo et al (2015), nine coral standards of known density were included in
every scanning session to convert density measurements from CT Hounsfield
units to g cm-3. Average density of each standard was assessed in Hounsfield
units using Horos and a standard curve was created for all cores scanned in
the corresponding session. Linear extension (cm) was measured in Horos as the
width of each annual density band couplet, and calcification (g cm-2 yr-1) was
calculated as the product of density and linear extension.
Note, because cores were collected in subsequent years, the most recent year
of growth (2015) was not included for cores collected in 2016 in order to keep
the beginning of chronologies uniform throughout.
Analysis was based on previously published methods in Castillo et al (2011),
Castillo et al (2012).

"Description from NSF award abstract:
Rising global ocean surface temperatures have reduced coral growth rates, thereby negatively impacting the health of coral reef ecosystems worldwide. Recent studies on tropical reef building corals reveal that corals' growth in response to ocean warming may be influenced by their previous seawater temperature exposure - their thermal history. Although these recent findings highlight significant variability in coral growth in response to climate change, uncertainty remains as to the spatial scale at which corals' thermal history influences how they have responded to ocean warming and how they will likely respond to predicted future increases in ocean temperature. This study investigates the influence of thermal history on coral growth in response to recent and predicted seawater temperatures increases across four ecologically relevant spatial scales ranging from reef ecosystems, to reef communities, to reef populations, to an individual coral colony. By understanding how corals have responded in the past across a range of ecological scales, the Principal Investigator will be able to improve the ability to predict their susceptibility and resilience, which could then be applied to coral reef conservation in the face of climate change. This research project will broaden the participation of undergraduates from underrepresented groups and educate public radio listeners using minority voices and narratives. The scientist will leverage current and new partnerships to recruit and train minority undergraduates, thus allowing them to engage high school students near field sites in Florida, Belize, and Panama. Through peer advising, undergraduates will document this research on a digital news site for dissemination to the public. The voice of the undergraduates and scientist will ground the production of a public radio feature exploring the topic of acclimatization and resilience - a capacity for stress tolerance within coral reef ecosystems. This project will provide a postdoctoral researcher and several graduate students with opportunities for field and laboratory research training, teaching and mentoring, and professional development. The results will allow policy makers from Florida, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System countries, and several Central American countries to benefit from Caribbean-scale inferences that incorporate corals' physiological abilities, thereby improving coral reef management for the region.
Coral reefs are at significant risk due to a variety of local and global scale anthropogenic stressors. Although various stressors contribute to the observed decline in coral reef health, recent studies highlight rising seawater temperatures due to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration as one of the most significant stressors influencing coral growth rates. However, there is increasing recognition of problems of scale since a coral's growth response to an environmental stressor may be conditional on the scale of description. This research will investigate the following research questions: (1) How has seawater temperature on reef ecosystems (Florida Keys Reef Tract, USA; Belize Barrier Reef System, Belize; and Bocas Del Toro Reef Complex, Panama), reef communities (inshore and offshore reefs), reef populations (individual reefs), and near reef colonies (individual colonies), varied in the past? (2) How has seawater temperature influenced rates of coral growth and how does the seawater temperature-coral growth relationship vary across these four ecological spatial scales? (3) Does the seawater temperature-coral growth relationship forecast rates of coral growth under predicted end-of-century ocean warming at the four ecological spatial scales? Long term sea surface temperature records and small-scale high-resolution in situ seawater temperature measurements will be compared with growth chronologies for the reef building corals Siderastrea siderea and Orbicella faveolata, two keystone species ubiquitously distributed throughout the Caribbean Sea. Nutrients and irradiance will be quantified via satellite-derived observations, in situ measurements, and established colorimetric protocols. Field and laboratory experiments will be combined to examine seawater temperature-coral growth relationships under recent and predicted end-of-century ocean warming at four ecologically relevant spatial scales. The findings of this study will help us bridge the temperature-coral growth response gap across ecologically relevant spatial scales and thus improve our understanding of how corals have responded to recent warming. This will lead to more meaningful predictions about future coral growth response to climate change.";

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").
