For geographic coordinates and depth, standard physical limits were applied (e.g., Latitude [-90, 90], Depth [0, 10000]). For biochemical parameters (POC, PON, BSi, TEP, CSP, PIC), the absolute 'Fail' span was set to [0.0, 99999.0]. The 0.0 minimum prevents physically impossible negative biological mass, while the 99999.0 ceiling acts as a fail-safe to catch catastrophic transcription errors. The 'Suspect' span was dynamically calculated using a 3-sigma (3 standard deviations) statistical threshold derived from the dataset's own mean to accurately identify statistical outliers requiring human review before reusing.";

String summary "Particulate carbon, nitrogen, exopolymeric particles, and biogenic silica measurements from MSC measurements during BELAS-1 expedition in Labrador Sea, April-May 2022. Data includes values and standard deviations for POC, PON, BSi, TEP, CSP, and PIC. Samples were evaluated natively through filtration and rigorous ex-situ analytical precision techniques, eliminating the requirement for instrument calibration logs.";

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.
