"Data files were obtained from NCEI at https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/avhrr-polar-pathfinder-extended/access/. For each data variable plus the latitude and longitude variables, the two dimensional x-y grid was rotated clockwise by 90 degrees, resulting in geographical orientation where the Greenwich Meridian runs parallel to the y (rows)-axis from the North Pole at the grid center to the middle of the x (columns)-axis at the bottom edge of the grid and -90 degree E meridian runs parallel to the x (columns)-axis from the North Pole at the grid center to the middle of the y (rows)-axis at the left edge of the grid. To coordinate variables (columns and rows) were added that correspond to the columns and rows dimensions. The coordinate variables have units of meters. The timestamp was made consistent across all files by converting to seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Metadata were alter to be in compliance with CF and ACDD standards.

Using griddap to Request Data and Graphs from Gridded Datasets

griddap lets you request a data subset, graph, or map from a gridded dataset (for example, sea surface temperature data from a satellite), via a specially formed URL. griddap uses the OPeNDAP 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.

• (easy) You can get data by using the dataset's Data Access Form. It makes 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.

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.
