String comment "The quality codes are based on the IGOSS quality codes. For data posted before 2 April 2020, quality codes were assigned subjectively to individual spectral records based on the shape of the spectral curve and relative values of significant wave height (VCAR) and peak period (VTPK) as recomputed from the spectra by MEDS. No assessment of any additional reported parameters is implied by the quality code. Spectra-based QC was discontinued on 2 April 2020, but the off-position check (QC flag of 7) is still carried out.";

"0: Blank - No quality control (QC) has been performed

4: Erroneous - QC has been performed: record appears erroneous
5: Changes - The record has been changed as a result of QC
6: Acceptable - QC has been performed: record seems inconsistent with other records
7: Off Position - There is a problem with the buoy position or mooring. Data may still be useful.
8: Reserved
9: Reserved - indicates missing elements";

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.
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.
