"The herbivorus green sea urchin (Lytechinus variegatus) was surveyed across the southern part of St. Joseph Bay at 16 sites spaced approximately 1 nautical mile apart. Initial surveys were performed in May 2016 as part of a prior study of seagrass coverage, reproduction, and herbivore intensity. Using RAPID funds, the same survey was conducted in August 2019, 11 months after Hurricane Michael, an extremely powerful category 5 tropical cyclone, made landfall nearby with devastating effects. Densities were recorded by snorkelers in 5 replicate, haphazardly thrown 0.25-m2 quadrats at each site. 

Comparing pre- and post-hurricane urchin densities allows for estimates of how Hurricane Michael's passage impacted resident urchin densities. These data were collected by Dorothy Byron and Alexandra Rodriguez of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.";

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 Data Access Protocol (DAP) and its selection 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.

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

For details, see the tabledap Documentation.
