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.

Joelle Sweeney contributed otoliths and corresponding length and weight data for Oncorhynchus mykiss, Sebastes jordani and Sebastes goodei. Size data and specimens for Oncorhynchus gorbuscha were provided by Steve Moffitt and Dion Oxman of Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Joe Orsi of Alaska Fisheries Science Center, and Tyler Zubkowski of Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Roberta Folk, Jim Carretta, Terry Farley, Amy Betcher, Rachel Struch, Morgan Martin, and Stephanie Nehasil helped measure and weigh specimens in the lab. Digital microscope equipment and instruction were provided by Wayne Perryman and Morgan Lynn.  Microgram scales for weighing otoliths were provided by Bev Macewicz, Barbara Javor, and Jeff Seminoff. Collections managers and staff provided extensive access and expertise, including Ben Frable and H. J. Walker of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) Marine Vertebrate Collection, Linsey Sala of the SIO Pelagic Invertebrate Collection and Eric Hochberg of Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. Christine Thacker, Rick Feeney, Jeff Seigel, and Neftali Camacho of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County provided otoliths from the Fitch Otolith Collection.";

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://upwell.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://upwell.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").
