String summary
"This is global topography data. The grid resolution is 30 seconds which is
roughly one kilometer.
Land data are based on the 1-km averages of topography derived from the USGS
SRTM30 grided DEM data product created with data from the NASA Shuttle Radar
Topography Mission. GTOPO30 data are used for high latitudes where SRTM data
are not available.
Ocean data are based on the Smith and Sandwell global 1-minute grid between
latitudes +/- 81 degrees. Higher resolution grids have been added from the
LDEO Ridge Multibeam Synthesis Project, the JAMSTEC Data Site for Research
Cruises, and the NGDC Coastal Relief Model. Arctic bathymetry is from the
International Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (IBCAO) [Jakobsson et al.,
2003].";

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.
griddap request URLs must be in the form
http://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
http://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/erdBAssta5day.htmlTable?sst[(2007-10-21T00:00:00)][0][(-75):100:(75)][(180):100:(360)]
Thus, the query is often a variable name (e.g., sst),
followed by a set of [] for each of the variable's dimensions
(for example, [time][altitude][latitude][longitude]),
with your desired (start):stride:(stop) values within each [].
For details, see the griddap Documentation.
