    String summary "Concentrations of the rare earth elements (REE) and Thorium-232 (232Th) are presented for filtered air (dust) samples collected from the northern Gulf of Alaska region, including from Middleton Island (AK)(59.4214 N, 146.3493 W) and the Copper River delta  (60.4324 N, 145.0954 W). Size-fractionated samples were collected in November 2019, using a Tisch Volumetric Flow Controlled (VFC) high volume sampler (Tisch Environmental, TE-5170V- BL) outfitted with a Cascade impactor. The six size fractions collected ranged from <0.49 micrometers (um) to >7.2 um in diameter. This sampler technology is discussed in greater detail in Morton et al, 2013. Samples were filtered with acid-washed Whatman 41 (W41) cellulose fiber filters. Additional bulk dust samples were collected in October 2012, using a  Thermo Partisol Plus 2025 using Teflon filters. Samples were fully digested using concentrated nitric and hydrofluoric acids, following the approach of Morton et al, 2013. Samples were analyzed using a Thermofisher iCAP inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) in KED mode, with He as a collision cell gas, adapted from the approach of Trommetter et al (2020). Concentrations were determined from standard curves using a REE ICP-MS standard from High-Purity Standards (that also contained 232Th). Three internal standards (Ge, In, and Bi) were added to both samples and standards, to correct for short-term variability in the instrument response and to evaluate stability of mass response during the ICP-MS run. Concentration estimates for the REE and 232Th were blank-corrected using full-process blanks that included filters deployed during times when there was no known dust deposition. Most of the full-process blank concentrations were 100 times or more smaller than the concentrations of our lowest standard (with the exception of Ce, the concentration of which was ~seven times smaller than our lowest standard. This means that our blank concentrations were very low but also not quantified extremely accurately. Our best estimates are that the full-process blanks, including filters, ranged from 0.02 picograms per square centimeter (pg cm-2) for Eu, Tb, and Ho, to 2 pg cm-2 for Ce. These blank concentrations were in all cases 40 times or more smaller than our lowest REE sample concentration for the <0.49 um size fraction with the smallest amount of dust, and ~3 orders of magnitude smaller than the signal of the largest samples. The REE data are also presented in a double-normalized format that first normalizes to concentrations of Post Archean Australian Shale and then normalizes to the mean REE concentration. The normalization approach is slightly modified from that of Serno et al, 2014.";

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.
