String summary
"This was the first field project of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry Program's Marine Aerosol and Gas Exchange project (IGAC-MAGE). The experiment was planned to coordinate with the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) in order to complement their oceanographic program with trace gas and atmospheric chemistry measurements. The specific goals of the IGAC/MAGE 1992 equatorial field program were to:
1. Calculate air-sea exchange of short-lived biogenic trace gases using shipboard measurements of the important seawater and atmospheric species, air-sea exchange models and micro-budget flux estimates.
2. Measure deposition of nutrients to the sea surface and the effects of these nutrients on ocean primary productivity.
3. Compare the atmospheric chemistry and aerosol properties over productive (equatorial) and oligotrophic (12°S) waters.
4. Calculate the cycling of trace gases in the upper water column using measurements of the key species as a function of depth and microbiological rate studies.";

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").
For details, see the tabledap Documentation.
