Funded by NERACOOS. Data is reported in elevation above MLLW (NAVD88) in feet and also converted to meters. NOAA uses Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), which is the average height of the lowest tide recorded at a tide station each day during a 19-year recording period, known as the National Tidal Datum Epoch.[5] MLLW is only a mean, so some tidal levels may be negative relative to MLLW; see also mean low water spring. The 19-year recording period is the nearest full year count to the 18.6-year cycle of the lunar node regression, which has an effect on tides. At this location Mean Sea Level (MSL) is 1.491 meters above MLLW Benchmark used: NOAA Station ID: 8445138 - SCITUATE, SCITUATE HARBOR (with extrapolated estimate) MSL meters = (MLLW ft. * 0.3048) + GAUGE location correction."; String testOutOfDate "now-1day"; String time_coverage_end "2023-12-31T23:00:00Z"; String time_coverage_start "2020-03-20T19:00:00Z"; String title "Scituate Harbor, MA Tide Gauge"; Float64 Westernmost_Easting -70.72009; } }
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.
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").
