Erddapy (ERDDAP + Python) is a Python library created by Filipe Fernandes that
"takes advantage of ERDDAP's RESTful web services and creates the
ERDDAP URL for any request like searching for datasets, acquiring metadata,
downloading data, etc." Thanks to Filipe Fernandes.

We recommend using the default <startHeadHtml5> and <endBodyHtml5>.
We recommend: If you made changes to the original
<startBodyHtml> and/or want to customize
your ERDDAP now, please copy the new <startBodyHtml5> tag (from below)
into your setup.xml and modify it to customize your ERDDAP so that
ERDDAP's web pages reflect your organization, not NOAA ERD.
Notably, please change the "Brought to you by" to your organization(s).
If you need help, please email bob.simons at noaa.gov.
(If you don't want to customize your ERDDAP now, use the default <startBodyHtml5>.)
Then delete the 3 old tags in your setup.xml which are no longer used.

There are additional ways you can customize ERDDAP so ERDDAP's web pages reflect your organization instead of NOAA ERD.
If you didn't customize those tags, please delete them from your setup.xml file.
Now they all have defaults in messages.xml that refer to datasets
in Bob's ERDDAP at https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/index.html .
So you no longer need to have specific datasets in your ERDDAP.
If you want to override the defaults, copy some or all of those tags
into your setup.xml and change their values.
If you want the examples to point to your ERDDAP, the easiest method is:
<dataset type="EDDGridFromErddap" datasetID="jplMURSST41" active="true">
<sourceUrl>https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/jplMURSST41</sourceUrl>
</dataset>
<dataset type="EDDTableFromErddap" datasetID="pmelTaoDySst" active="true">
<sourceUrl>https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst</sourceUrl>
</dataset>
<EDDGridErddapUrlExample>https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/</EDDGridErddapUrlExample> <EDDTableErddapUrlExample>https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/</EDDTableErddapUrlExample>
If you did customize those tags, leave them as is and please add these 2 new tags to your setup.xml to specify the ERDDAP URL for these datasets, but change the URL to your ERDDAP's (https?) URL:
<EDDGridErddapUrlExample>https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/</EDDGridErddapUrlExample> <EDDTableErddapUrlExample>https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/</EDDTableErddapUrlExample>
requests for portions of /files/ files. This was needed to support
the audio and video viewers in browsers.
So, please check your datasets: if a variable's values are packed and
if actual_range is specified as packed data values,
please add an <addAttributes> actual_range value to specify the unpacked values.
Otherwise, the dataset will not load in ERDDAP.
A simple and almost perfect way to do this is to search your datasets.xml for
sourceAttributes that have
<att name="actual_range" type="shortList">
or <att name="actual_range" type="intList">
and a scale_factor other than 1.0.
Those are the actual_range attributes that you might have to fix.
For axis variables in EDDGrid datasets, ERDDAP always sets the actual_range attribute to be the actual range of the values since it knows those values.
For axis variables with descending values (e.g., some latitude variables), ERDDAP used created actual_range with the [0]...[last] values, which were high...low. Now it always uses low...high values to make the new CF definition.
The correctness of the actual_range values is particularly important for EDDTable datasets, because ERDDAP will quickly reject user requests for data values which are less than the actual_range minimum value or which are greater than the actual_range maximum value.
Related: the actual_min, actual_max, data_min and data_max attributes are now deprecated. Please convert your datasets to use actual_range instead.
to make your data catalog and datasets part of the
semantic web,
which is Tim Berners-Lee's idea to make web content more machine readable and
machine "understandable".
Search engines
(Google in particular)
and other semantic tools can use this structured markup
to facilitate discovery and indexing.
The json-ld structured markup appears as invisible-to-humans <script> code on the
http://.../erddap/info/index.html web page (which is a semantic web
DataCatalog)
and on each http://.../erddap/info/datasetID/index.html web page
(which is a semantic web
Dataset).
(Special thanks to Adam Leadbetter and Rob Fuller of the Marine Institute in Ireland
for doing the hard parts of the work to make this part of ERDDAP.)
The netcdf-java developers maintain that these vulnerabilities are not relevant
because of the way that netcdf code uses these libraries
and in any case would only be relevant when accessing Amazon S3.
See
https://github.com/Unidata/thredds/issues/866 .
I believe them. If you still have concerns about this,
please contact the netcdf-java developers.
(Note that if you don't believe the netcdf-java developers
and are contemplating not using ERDDAP because of this, you shouldn't use
THREDDS either, because THREDDS uses netcdf-java more fundamentally and
more extensively than ERDDAP.)

You can also print the data values for specified variables

This is useful because, without ncdump it is hard to know what is in

We still recommend: If a dataset has a large number of files (e.g., >1,000), the operating system (and thus EDDGridFromFiles and EDDTableFromFiles) will operate much more efficiently if you store the files in a series of subdirectories (one per year, or one per month for datasets with very frequent files), so that there are never a huge number of files in a given directory.

<!-- If true, when you start up ERDDAP, some types of datasets (e.g.,
EDDGridFromDap) will used cached information (.dds, .das, etc.) to reload
very quickly, without contacting the remote server. The dataset's age
will be based on when the dataset was reloaded last. Normally this
should be true (the default), but set it to false if you want to bypass
the cached information.

<!-- ERDDAP lets you choose between two search engines for full text searches:
* original (the default) - is the best choice if your ERDDAP has fewer
than about 10,000 datasets. It is very robust and trouble free.
* lucene - is the best choice for more than about 10,000 datasets.
The advantages are that with any number of datasets it works fast
and uses very little memory.
But there are many things that might go wrong with individual
queries and with the whole system.
And although its behaviour (the datasets it finds and the order that
it ranks them) is almost identical to the original search engine,
it has a few quirky, subtle, small differences.

If you don't, you MUST change these before you make your ERDDAP public;

Normally, you won't ever change this again. But if you you think someone is abusing the flag system, change this text again, restart ERDDAP, and send all of the users of the flag system the relevant new flagKeys (see the list in the Daily Report). --> <flagKeyKey>A stitch in time saves nine. CHANGE THIS!!!</flagKeyKey> <!-- ERDDAP has an email/URL subscription system which sends a user an email or pings a url whenever a dataset of interest changes. (This is different from the RSS system, which is always active.) The system relies on the server being able to send out emails to people to validate their subscription requests. The emails appear to come from the emailFromAddress below. So if your server can't send out emails, don't make this system active. You may choose (for whatever reason) to make this system active or not, so valid values below are "true" (the default) and "false". Note that if you change this and restart ERDDAP, the list of subscriptions (in [bigParentDirectory]/subscriptionsV1.txt) isn't affected. See also the subscriptionEmailBlacklist in datasets.xml. --> <subscriptionSystemActive>true</subscriptionSystemActive>
<!-- The bounding box values are minLongitude,minLatitude,maxLongitude,maxLatitude. Longitude values within -180 to 180, or 0 to 360, are now okay. --> <wmsSampleBBox>0,-75,360,75</wmsSampleBBox>
to all files requested from the
/images directory.
This greatly reduces the number of static file requests sent to ERDDAP
and thus greatly speeds up most ERDDAP page loads.
Also, many JavaScript file references moved to the bottom of their HTML pages,
which also speeds up many ERDDAP page loads.
Thanks to the book "High Performance Web Sites" by Steve Souders and the ySlow addition to the
FireBug plugin in FireFox.
<!-- drawLand specifies the default Make A Graph setting for whether the landmask should be drawn "over" (the default) or "under" surface data on maps. "over" is recommended for primarily oceanographic data (so that grid data over land is obscured by the landmask).
