While surface concentrations of chlorophyll-a during these blooms are well-documented, we lack information on the vertical distribution of biomass in bloom patches.  Both species are known to vertically migrate and accumulate near the surface at midday.  We also lack direct measurements of light attenuation through intense bloom patches for comparison to attenuation through the background phytoplankton assemblage.  We conducted vertical profiles of water column structure, phytoplankton chlorophyll-a, and irradiance on five dates during these intense summer blooms in the LYRE.  Ten to twelve stations were occupied on each date spanning a wide range of bloom densities, including background stations outside of bloom patches.  Profiles were used to determine the vertical distribution of bloom biomass, while irradiance measurements were used to compute the vertical attenuation coefficient as a function of bloom chlorophyll-a biomass, determined from laboratory extraction of surface samples.";

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.
