    String history 
"Converted from Landsat 5, 7, and 8 Surface Reflectance geotiff products to netCDF. The units were changed from K to degrees C and the average bias determined through RI DEM buoy comparison in Narragansett Bay (2003-2019) to each satellite was removed from all scenes from the corresponding satellite. The errors were determined by using a K-fold cross-validation to minimize error at each satellite pixel. The scenes were also cloud masked, land masked, and stripes in Landsat 7 imagery (due to sensor failure) were masked as well. A buoy comparison was only conducted within Narragansett Bay for Landsat scenes with less than 50% cloud cover, and applied to available scenes back to 1984 for Landsat 5, 1999 for Landsat 7, and 2013 for Landsat 8. As a result, data uncertainties are unknown outside of the Narragansett Bay region, for scenes with greater cloud cover, and scenes before 2003.

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 (external link) Data Access Protocol (DAP) (external link) and its projection 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.

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.
