"The water quality buoys are part of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing
System (PacIOOS) and are designed to measure a variety of ocean parameters at
fixed points. WQB-KN is located at the Kilo Nalu Nearshore Reef Observatory,
near Kakaako Waterfront Park and Kewalo Basin off of Ala Moana Boulevard in
Honolulu. Continuous sampling of this area provides a record of baseline
conditions of the chemical and biological environment for comparison when
there are pollution events such as storm runoff or a sewage spill.";

Using tabledap to Request Data and Graphs from Tabular Datasets

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
   http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
   http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/erddap/tabledap/pmelTao.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,sea_surface_temperature&longitude>180&longitude<180.2&latitude>0&latitude<0.2&time>2007-06-01T00:00:00Z
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.
