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.

Platform: RV Sikuliaq
Sensor Model: unknown
Sensor S/N: XXXXX
Sensor Location Onboard: Not Applicable
Sensor Description: Sikuliaq is equipped with a suite of electric winches manufactured by Rapp Marine, consisting of two hydrographic winches with .322 EM cable and a traction winch with two storage reels containing .681 EOM cable and 9/16 3x19 trawl wire. The PLC interfaces with a databroker that outputs NMEA data at 20 Hz using ZeroMQ distributed messaging. ******
The ship's typical arrangement is to use Winch #1 for .322 ops off the stern A-frame and Winch #2 for .322 ops off the starboard Load Handling System for CTD casts.  Winch #6 refers to Storage Drum 1 which houses the .681, and Winch #7 refers to Storage Drum 2 which houses the 9/16 trawl wire.

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.
