"Tide gauge located in Scituate Harbor, MA. 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.";

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.
