Things You Can Do With Your Graphs

Well, you can do anything you want with your graphs, of course. But some things you might not have considered are:

Web page authors can embed a graph of the latest data in a web page using HTML <img> tags.
Anyone can use ERDDAPs Slide Sorter to build a personal web page that displays graphs with the latest data (or other images or HTML content), each in its own, draggable slide.

    String EngDescr 
"Purpose of data capture: The majority of the records have come from volunteers as part of the activities of the Isle of Wight Natural History and Archaeological Society whose objectives include the promotion and advancement of the study of the flora, fauna, geology and archaeology of the county.

Methods of data capture: Historic data before 1970s has come from books and journals. Data from the last 40 years has mostly come from ad hoc field survey by local experts and enthusiasts, though there have been some targetted surveys, including surveys done for the Nature Conservancy Council.

Geographical coverage: Isle of Wight and nearby waters. The records are largely ad-hoc and coverage is incomplete. The records in this dataset were provided with four or six figure grid-references but these grid references refer to the approximate central location of sites and hence may not represent the actual location of the species occurrence.

Temporal coverage: From 1853 to 2011. Records up to 1980s are generally to year only; after this time records are more usually to MM/YY or DD/MM/YYYY.

Data quality: Records from 1980s and onwards have been checked and confirmed by a local expert; prior to this the records have been scrutinised and assisgned to taxons in line with recent taxomonic developments.";

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 (external link)

Data Access Protocol (DAP) (external link)

and its selection constraints (external link)

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.
