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 
"Along the transect the different ecological zones were identified and quadrants different quadrants of (50 by 50 cm) were deployed in each zone. In each quadrant the abundance of all species were either counted or the percentage coverage was estimated. 
Other data recorded include omoung others the length of the zone and the slope. More information (in Portugese) can be found in the protocol : 
 http://www.ciimar.up.pt/mobidic/documentos/MoBiDIC_descriProtocolo.pdf 

Most of the population in Portugal lives along its coast. Consequently, there are schools across the country with easy access to beaches. The ecosystems of the intertidal zone are living laboratories and scientific and educational opportunities they offer are numerous. 
The program MoBiDiC seeks to reconcile the scientific needs, with the popularization of science and education of young students. The objective of this project is therefore beyond the awareness of the issue of biodiversity. Students will have the opportunity to interact with members of the national and international scientific community, know the flora and fauna of the Portuguese coast and contact with marine ecosystems.
Simultaneously, we believe that these activities with the school community also ensure a good impact on the rest of the community. Data collected by students from different parts of the country will be placed online in a database created for this purpose. They will thus be available for the entire school community, to be used in the classroom as well as for the general public and scientific community.

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.
