String summary "The Marine Institute's Ballycotton Climate Station (51.828133°, -8.000802°) hosts a Sea Surface Temperature (SST) time series that began with deployments between 2010 and 2012 but has been in continuous operation since 2016 (there is a gap in the data in 2023/2024 due to sensor failure). The SST time series is built through long-run (months to years) deployments of Seabird 39 temperature sensors, which collect data at 30-minute frequency, at the pier in Ballycotton Harbour, 2.85m below OD Malin. The SST data has been through standard quality control procedures, with quality flags added and accessible to download along with the data.";

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/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.
