(2009) algorithm, in which separate algorithms for clear open ocean and turbid coastal waters are weighted into a combined product. This approach improves accuracy across ocean conditions. Atmospheric correction uses the near-infrared (NIR) approach of Jiang and Wang (2014), referred to as the BMW atmospheric correction. The individual overpasses are composited into daily mean grids (~840m), then the daily mean grids are averaged into seasonal gridded chlorophyll-a. Data in the last year of the series represent near real-time data and are of lesser accuracy than the science-quality data of the years before the last year. Seasons represent the periods January to March, April to June, July to September, and October to December.

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.
griddap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/jplMURSST41.htmlTable?analysed_sst[(2002-06-01T09:00:00Z)][(-89.99):1000:(89.99)][(-179.99):1000:(180.0)]
Thus, the query is often a data variable name (e.g., analysed_sst),
followed by [(start):stride:(stop)]
(or a shorter variation of that) for each of the variable's dimensions
(for example, [time][latitude][longitude]).
