String summary "Satellite-tracked surface drifting buoy (or drifter) observations of currents and sea surface temperature in the Mediterranean Sea during the period 1986-2016. Two kinds of drifter data are available: interpolated at 0.5 h (db_med24_nc_1986_2016_kri05) and interpolated at 6 h and low-pass filtered with a hamming filter (cut-off period at 36 h; db_med24_nc_1986_2016_kri6hF). For more detail, see Menna et al. (2017). Menna M., Gerin R., Bussani A. and Poulain P.-M. (2017). The OGS Mediterranean Drifter Dataset: 1986-2016 Rel. 2017/92 Sez.

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.
