String summary "The overarching goal of PEACH is to understand the dynamics controlling exchange of waters between the continental shelf and deep ocean in the region near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. As part of PEACH, Spray gliders surveyed along the upper continental slope and across the outer continental shelf for more than two years during a series of missions from spring 2017 to spring 2019. Typical sampling was to a maximum depth of 500 m or to within a few meters of the seafloor in shallower water; occasional deeper sampling occurred if gliders encountered adverse currents. Additional plots of these data are available at http://gliders.whoi.edu.";

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
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.
- (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.
