The Data

ERDDAP deals with a dataset in one of two ways: as gridded data or as tabular data.

Gridded Data
ERDDAP can serve data from various types of data files (and from OPeNDAP servers like Hyrax, THREDDS, GrADS, ERDDAP) that contain multi-dimensional gridded data, for example, Level 3 sea surface temperature data (from a satellite) with three dimensions: [time][latitude][longitude].

The data for a gridded dataset can be stored in one file or many files (typically with one time point per file).

If your dataset is already served via an OPeNDAP server, skip this form and just email the dataset's OPeNDAP URL to the administrator of this ERDDAP (admin at ogsl dot ca).

How is your gridded data stored?

Tabular Data
ERDDAP can also serve data that can be represented as a single, database-like table, where there is a column for each type of data and a row for each observation. This includes:

The data for a tabular dataset can be stored in one file or many files (typically with data for one station, one glider, one animal, or one cruise per file). We recommend making one dataset with all of the data that is very similar, and not a lot of separate datasets. For example, you might make one dataset with data from a group of moored buoys, a group of gliders, a group of animals, or a group of cruises (for example, annually on one line).

How is your tabular data stored?

Frequency of Changes
Some datasets get new data frequently. Some datasets will never be changed.
How often will this data be changed?
