"Oceanographic measurements obtained offshore of the Elwha River delta in coordination with the Elwha River Restoration Project, Washington, USA, 2010-2014 - ELW13A6T01wh. First Release: Aug 2017
Revised: May 2018 (ver. 1.1)

Time-series data of velocity, pressure, turbidity, conductivity, and temperature were collected near the mouth of the Elwha River, Washington, USA, from December 2010 through October 2014, for the Department of Interior's Elwha River Restoration project. As part of this project, the U.S. Geological Survey studied the effects of renewed sediment supplies on the coastal ecosystems before, during, and following the removal of two dams, Elwha and Glines Canyon, from the Elwha River. Removal of the dams reintroduced sediment stored in the reservoirs to the river, and the river moved much of this sediment to the coast. 
 
Several benthic tripods were instrumented with oceanographic sensors to collect the time-series data. Initial deployment in December 2010 consisted of one tripod about 1 km east of the Elwha River mouth (Tripod A). In March of 2011, an identical tripod (Tripod B) was placed about 1 km west of the river mouth. A mooring was added to the western site in July 2012 to measure turbidity and conductivity near the surface. A third tripod was placed in deeper water (50 m) directly offshore of the river mouth in an attempt to characterize sediment gravity flows near the seafloor if they occurred (Tripod C). Exceptional sedimentation was observed near the original tripod site A during the winter of 2013-2014. As a result, the tripod was relocated further east in April 2013 and renamed Tripod D.

Please check metadata and instrument information carefully for applicable time periods of specific data, as individual instrument deployment times and duration of the time series vary.

The naming convention for the Network Common Data Format (NetCDF) files included in this release is a 12-character alphanumeric code (ELWYYJKLNNXX.nc) where:

ELW is a 3-digit alphabetic-code for this experiment located at the mouth of the Elwha River
YY is the 2 digit year at the time of deployment
J is the location with respect to the river mouth [A, East (December 2010 to April 2013); B, West; C, Offshore; D, East (April 2013 to March 2014)]
K is the deployment number (1-9; beginning and ending dates of each deployment are given below)
L is the instrument package type (T, tripod; M, surface mooring)
NN indicates the position of instrument on the surface mooring (01, nearest the surface; NN increases with depth)
XX denotes the instrument or data type (wh, RDInstruments Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) current data; wv, RDInstruments ADCP derived wave parameters; nx, Falmouth Scientific NXIC Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD); aq, Aquatec Aqualogger OBS; bl, RBR, Ltd CTD; sc, SeaBird Electonics SBE16+ CT)

Some derived parameters are included in these data.

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 (external link) Data Access Protocol (DAP) (external link) and its selection constraints (external link).

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.
