    String acquisition_description 
"We characterized the ecological status of each island by quantifying the
abundance of kelps, understory algae, coralline algae, etc. at randomly
selected sites, using the same methods that have been employed by us and
others over the past 30 years (Estes et al. 2010). Originally, we identified
potential study sites by laying a grid over a map of each island, marking
every place a grid line intersected the coast; these marks were later assigned
GPS waypoints. During the 2014 research cruise, we randomly selected and
resampled six sites per island, or in the Semichi Islands (Alaid, Nizki, and
Shemya)\\u2014island group\\u2014as this level of sampling is sufficient to
determine the ecological status of an island (Estes et al. 2010). We performed
identical community surveys at the sites we studied with respect to algal reef
bioerosion (see associated metadata forms and datasets).
 
At each site, one diver sampled twenty 0.25-m^2 quadrats along the 20 foot
depth contour, taking a random number of kicks between quadrats. Patches of
unconsolidated substrate were rare on the rocky reef; however, if one was
encountered while sampling, the diver took an additional random number of
kicks and again deployed the quadrat. In each quadrat, s/he counted the stipe
density of all kelps (by species) and estimated the abundance (percent cover)
of fleshy red algae, sessile invertebrates, encrusting coralline algae (almost
exclusively Clathromorphum nereostratum), branching coralline algae, and other
algae such as Desmarestia or Codium species. Percent cover was visually
estimated on a scale of 1-6, where 1 = 0-5%, 2 = 6-25%, 3 = 26-50%, 4 =
51-75%, 5 = 76-95%, and 6 = 96-100 % cover.";

"Extracted from the NSF award abstract:
Marine calcifying organisms are most at risk to rapid ocean acidification (OA) in cold-water ecosystems. The investigators propose to determine if a globally unique and widespread calcareous alga in Alaska's Aleutian archipelago, Clathromorphum nereostratum, is threatened with extinction due to the combined effects of OA and food web alterations. C. nereostratum is a slow growing coralline alga that can live to at least 2000 years. It accretes massive 'bioherms' that dominate the regions' rocky substrate both under kelp forests and deforested sea urchin barrens. It develops growth bands (similar to tree rings) in its calcareous skeleton, which effectively record its annual calcification rate over centuries. Pilot data suggest the skeletal density of C. nereostratum began to decline precipitously in the 1990's in some parts of the Aleutian archipelago. The investigators now propose to use high-resolution microscopy and microCT imaging to examine how the growth and skeletal density of C. nereostratum has changed in the past 300 years (i.e., since the industrial revolution) across the western Aleutians. They will compare their records of algal skeletal densities and their variation through time with reconstructions of past climate to infer causes of change. In addition, the investigators will examine whether the alga's defense against grazing by sea urchins is compromised by ongoing ocean acidification. The investigators will survey the extent of C. nereostratum bioerosion occurring at 10 sites spanning the western Aleutians, both inside and outside of kelp forests. At each site they will compare these patterns to observed and monitored ecosystem trophic structure and recent C. nereostratum calcification rates. Field observations will be combined with laboratory experiments to determine if it is a decline in the alga's skeletal density (due to recent OA and warming), an increase in grazing intensity (due to recent trophic-level dysfunction), or their interactive effects that are likely responsible for bioerosion patterns inside vs. outside of forests. By sampling C. nereostratum inside and outside of forests, they will determine if kelp forests locally increase pH via photosynthesis, and thus buffer the effects of OA on coralline calcification. The combination of field observations with laboratory controlled experiments, manipulating CO2 and temperature, will help elucidate drivers of calcification and project how these species interactions will likely change in the near future. The project will provide the first in situ example of how ongoing ocean acidification is affecting the physiology of long-lived, carbonate producing organisms in the subarctic North Pacific. It will also be one of the first studies to document whether OA, ocean warming, and food web changes to ecological processes are interacting in complex ways to reshape the outcome of species interactions in nature.";

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 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.

• (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.
