String summary "DNitzberg, Erik J., Swaraj Parmar, Georgia Arbuckle-Keil, Grace K. Saba, Robert J. Chant, and N. L. Fahrenfeld. \"Microplastic concentration, characterization, and size distribution in the Delaware Bay estuary.\" Chemosphere (2024): 142523. Data include polymer counts by individual polymer type, particle concentrations, and other field observations. As described in Nitzberg et al, particles retained on 500um sieves post-wet peroxide oxidation and density separation with saturated sodium chloride were analyzed via Fourier Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) with Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) or tranmittance. Manufactured polymers >5000um were classified as macroplastics. See https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142523 for details.";

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/erdGlobecBottle.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,bottle_posn,temperature1&time>=2002-08-17T00:00:00Z&time<=2002-08-19T20:18:00Z
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.
