String summary
"Surface ocean velocities estimated from High Frequency (HF)-Radar are representative
of the upper 2.4 meters of the ocean. The main objective of
near-real time processing is to produce the best product from
available data at the time of processing. Radial velocity
measurements are obtained from individual radar sites through the
U.S. HF-Radar Network. Hourly radial data are processed by unweighted
least squares on a 6km resolution grid of the Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands to produce near real-time surface current maps.";

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.
