String summary
"GLOBEC (GLOBal Ocean ECosystems Dynamics) NEP (Northeast Pacific)
Northern California Current Bird Data from R/V New Horizon cruises NH0005 and
0007.
As a part of the GLOBEC-Northeast Pacific project, we investigated variation
in the abundance of marine birds in the context of biological and physical
habitat conditions in the northern portion of the California Current System
(CCS) during cruises during the upwelling season 2000. Continuous surveys of
seabirds were conducted simultaneously in June (onset of upwelling) and
August (mature phase of upwelling).
Seabird surveys were conducted continuously during daylight, using a
300-m-wide transect strip. Within that strip, birds were counted that
occurred within the 90 degree quadrant off the ship's bow that offered the
best observation conditions.
Observed counts of seabirds recorded as flying in a steady direction were
adjusted for the effect of flight speed and direction relative to that of the
ship (Spear et al., 1992; Spear and Ainley, 1997b). The effect of such flux
is the most serious bias encountered during seabird surveys at sea (Spear et
al., 2005). Known as random directional movement (as opposed to nonrandom
directional movement, which occurs when birds are attracted or repelled from
the survey vessel), this problem usually results in density overestimation
because most species fly faster than survey vessels; densities of birds that
fly slower or at a similar speed as the survey vessel (e.g., storm-petrels),
or are flying in the same direction, are usually underestimated (Spear et
al., 1992)

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
http://upwell.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
http://upwell.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.
