String history
"Four-hour L3 wind data were obtained from NOAA NESDIS CoastWatch at https://coastwatch.noaa.gov/cwn/products/vector-winds-ascat-metop-abc.html and used to calculate wind stress, curl, Ekman upwelling, Wind Diffusivity Currents, and wind divergence derived variables. The four hour products were composited into daily, 3-day, 7-day, and monthly products using the NCO NCRA tool.

Data Access Protocol (DAP) and its
projection 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.
griddap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/jplMURSST41.htmlTable?analysed_sst[(2002-06-01T09:00:00Z)][(-89.99):1000:(89.99)][(-179.99):1000:(180.0)]
Thus, the query is often a data variable name (e.g., analysed_sst),
followed by [(start):stride:(stop)]
(or a shorter variation of that) for each of the variable's dimensions
(for example, [time][latitude][longitude]).
For details, see the griddap Documentation.
