"Water Flow Rate 600 s binned time series data.
Vessel: RV Sikuliaq. Sensor Model: Krohne Optiflux 5000 flow sensor
Sensor S/N: A13021464
Sensor Location Onboard: Wet Lab
Sensor Description: Electromagnetic Flowmeter measuring surface seawater flow being delivered to underway instruments. These electromagnetic flowmeters are designed exclusively to measure the flow and conductivity of electrically conductive, liquid media.

  The interface to this instrument is via Modbus RTU over RS485. Custom software had to be written to extract the required data from the sensor. The logged data format is
unique to Sikuliaq.
Parameter Description: The flow rate of water, used for diagnostic purposes.";

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.
