    String acquisition_description 
"Aerosol sample collection: Aerosols were collected on cellulose filters using
a Tisch Series 235 high-volume (~1 m3 air min-1) aerosol sampler equipped with
a cascade impactor designed for the separation of coarse (>1 \\u00b5m) and fine
(<1 \\u00b5m) aerosol fractions. The sampler was mounted on a platform atop the
ship\\u2019s wheelhouse as far forward as possible. Relative wind speed and
direction were monitored during aerosol sample collection, and the sampler was
operated only when the ship was steaming into the prevailing wind, in an
effort to avoid contamination from the ship\\u2019s exhaust and superstructure.
The cascade impactor was loaded with Whatman 41 cellulose filters that had
been pre-cleaned at Old Dominion University using 0.1 N and 0.5 N hydrochloric
acid, following a procedure modified from Baker et al. [2006]. Six filters
(five 25 cm x 25 cm slotted sheets and one 20.3 cm x 25.4 cm backing sheet)
were used for the collection of each aerosol sample. Air flow rates were
calculated using manufacturer-provided flow conversion tables and the pressure
decrease across the filters, which was measured at the start and end of sample
collection using a handheld digital manometer (Dwyer Series). The total air
volume sampled was estimated from the period of sample collection and the
average value of the initial and final flow rates.
 
Aerosol sample processing: Immediately following collection, the aerosol-laden
filters were unloaded and subsampled within a Class-100 clean air bench. Fixed
portions of the aerosol-laden cellulose filters corresponding to each aerosol
size fraction (<1 \\u00b5m and >1 \\u00b5m) were transferred into 47 mm diameter
perfluoroalkoxy alkane filter funnel assemblies (Savillex) loaded with acid-
cleaned 0.4 \\u00b5m polycarbonate filter membranes, and leached with 750 ml of
18.2 M\\u03a9-cm resistivity deionized water (Barnstead Nanopure), in a flow-
through protocol modfied after Buck et al. [2006]. Aliquots of the leachate
solutions were immediately transferred into (i) acid-cleaned 125 ml low-
density polyethylene bottles (Nalgene), then acidified with 500 \\u03bcl 6N
ultrapure hydrochloric acid (Fisher Chemical, Optima), for post-cruise
analysis of soluble aerosol iron, and (ii) 60 mL polypropylene tubes (Falcon)
for shipboard analysis of soluble aerosol nitrate+nitrite, phosphate and
ammonium. In addition, separate portions of the aerosol-laden cellulose
filters corresponding to each aerosol size fraction (<1 \\u00b5m and >1
\\u00b5m) were stored in pre-cleaned ziploc polyethylene bags for microwave
acid digestion at Old Dominion University. The microwave acid digestion
procedure was adapted from Morton et al. [2013], with the resulting digest
solutions evaporated to near dryness and then diluted with 20 mL of 1%
ultrapure nitric acid (Fisher Chemical, Optima).
 
Rainwater sample collection: Two methods were used to collect the rain samples
at sea. Samples Rain-01 and Rain-02 were collected in two acid-cleaned 2 L
wide-mouth fluorinated high-density polyethylene bottles (Nalgene) mounted
inside a polyethylene bucket, using an N-Con Systems automated rain sampler.
Samples Rain-03, Rain-04 and Rain-05 were manually collected using an acid-
cleaned high-density polyethylene funnel (Nalgene) connected by a Teflon
collar to an acid-cleaned 2 L low-density polyethylene bottle (Nalgene). Both
sample collectors were mounted on a platform atop the ship\\u2019s wheelhouse
as far forward as possible, with samples collected whilst the ship was
steaming into the prevailing wind, in an effort to avoid contamination from
the ship\\u2019s exhaust and superstructure. The ODU Rain Composite combines
samples collected on the Old Dominion University campus during summer 2014
using the manual funnel sampling method.
 
Rainwater sample processing: Immediately following collection, rainwater
sample containers were capped and transferred to a shipboard Class-100 clean
air bench for processing. From each sample, aliquots were transferred into (i)
60 mL polypropylene tubes (Falcon), which were frozen for post cruise analysis
of nitrate+nitrite, phosphate and ammonium, and, when there was sufficient
sample volume (ii) acid-cleaned 125 ml low-density polyethylene bottles
(Nalgene) and acidified to pH 1.8 with 6N ultrapure hydrochloric acid (Fisher
Chemical, Optima) for post-cruise analysis of total iron (more strictly, total
acid-labile iron). In addition, if the volume of sample was sufficient, the
rainwater was filtered through an acid-cleaned 0.4 \\u00b5m polycarbonate
membrane using a 47 mm diameter perfluoroalkoxy alkane filter funnel assembly
(Savillex), and the filtrate transferred into an acid-cleaned 125 ml low-
density polyethylene bottles (Nalgene) and acidified to pH 1.8 with 6N
ultrapure hydrochloric acid (Fisher Chemical, Optima) for post-cruise analysis
of dissolved iron.
 
DFe and TFe: Dissolved iron and total iron was determined in aerosol leachate
solutions (DFe), aerosol digest solutions (TFe), filtered rainwater (DFe) and
unfiltered rainwater (TFe, or more strictly, total acid-labile iron) were
determined at Old Dominion University using a ThermoFisher Element2 high-
resolution inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer (HR-ICP-MS). Sample
solutions were introduced into the ICP-MS without preconcentration, and
quantified using matrix-matched external standard solutions prepared with SPEX
CertiPrep Claritas PPT grade standards. An indium internal standard was used
to correct for instrumental drift. Analytical limits of detection are
estimated as 0.57 nM for DFe and for TFe in ulfiltered rainwater, and 53 nM
for TFe in the aerosol digest solutions. The values presented for DFe and TFe
in samples represent concentrations after subtracting the concentrations of
the corresponding field blanks (Rain-Sampler-Blank, Rain-Funnel-Blank, or Aer-
Blank). Atmospheric loadings of soluble aerosol iron (Sol Aer Fe) and total
aerosol iron (Tot Aer Fe) were calculated from DFe in aerosol leachates and
TFe in aerosol digest solutions, respectively, and the total air volume
sampled in each case, after correcting for the fraction of the active filter
area that was leached (for DFe) or digested (for TFe).
 
NO3+NO2: Dissolved nitrate plus nitrite was determined in aerosol leachate
solutions and rainwater with an Astoria Pacific nutrient autoanalyzer, using
standard colorimetric methods with an estimated detection limit of 0.14
\\u00b5M (Parsons et al., 1984; Price and Harrison, 1987). Atmospheric loadings
of soluble aerosol nitrate plus nitrite (Sol Aer NO3+NO2) were calculated from
NO3+NO2 in aerosol leachates and the total air volume sampled, after
correcting for the fraction of the active filter area that was leached.
 
PO4: Dissolved phosphate was determined in aerosol leachate solutions and
rainwater with an Astoria Pacific nutrient autoanalyzer, using standard
colorimetric methods with an estimated detection limit of 0.03 \\u00b5M
(Parsons et al., 1984; Price and Harrison, 1987). Atmospheric loadings of
soluble aerosol phosphate (Sol Aer PO4) were calculated from PO4 in aerosol
leachates and the total air volume sampled, after correcting for the fraction
of the active filter area that was leached.
 
NH4: Dissolved ammonium was determined in aerosol leachate solutions and
rainwater using the manual orthophthaldialdehyde method (Holmes et al., 1999),
with an estimated detection limit of 10 nM. Atmospheric loadings of soluble
aerosol ammonium (Sol Aer NH4) were calculated from NH4 in aerosol leachates
and the total air volume sampled, after correcting for the fraction of the
active filter area that was leached.";

"NSF abstract:
Deposition of atmospheric nitrogen provides reactive nitrogen species that influence primary production in nitrogen-limited regions. Although it is generally assumed that these species in precipitation contributes substantially to anthropogenic nitrogen loadings in many coastal marine systems, its biological impact remains poorly understood. Scientists from Pennsylvania State University, William & Mary College, and Old Dominion University will carry out a process-oriented field and modeling effort to test the hypothesis that deposits of wet atmospheric nitrogen (i.e., precipitation) stimulate primary productivity and accumulation of algal biomass in coastal waters following summer storms and this effect exceeds the associated biogeochemical responses to wind-induced mixing and increased stratification caused by surface freshening in oligotrophic coastal waters of the eastern United States. To attain their goal, the researchers would perform a Lagrangian field experiment during the summer months in coastal waters located between Delaware Bay and the coastal Carolinas to determine the response of surface-layer biogeochemistry and biology to precipitation events, which will be identified and intercepted using radar and satellite data. As regards the modeling effort, a 1-D upper ocean mixing model and a 1-D biogeochemical upper-ocean will be calibrated by assimilating the field data obtained a part of the study using the adjoint method. The hypothesis will be tested using sensitivity studies with the calibrated model combined with in-situ data and results from the incubation experiments. Lastly, to provide regional and historical context for the field measurements and the associated 1-D modeling, linked regional atmospheric-oceanic biogeochemical modeling will be conducted.
Broader Impacts. Results from the study would be incorporated into class lectures for graduate courses on marine policy and marine biogeochemistry. One graduate student from Pennsylvania State University, one graduate student from the College of William and Mary, and one graduate and one undergraduate student from Old Dominion University would be supported and trained as part of this project.";

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.
