## General purpose R client for ERDDAP servers

### Description

General purpose R client for ERDDAP servers

### ERDDAP info

NOAA's ERDDAP service holds many datasets of interest. It's built on top of OPenDAP http://www.opendap.org/. You can search for datasets via `ed_search`, list datasets via `ed_datasets`, get information on a single dataset via `info`, then get data you want for either tabledap type via `tabledap`, or for griddap type via `griddap`.

### tabledap/griddap

tabledap and griddap have different interfaces to query for data, so `tabledap` and `griddap` are separated out as separate functions even though some of the internals are the same. In particular, with tabledap you can query on/subset all variables, whereas with gridddap, you can only query on/subset the dimension varibles (e.g., latitude, longitude, altitude).

### NOTE

With griddap data via `griddap` you can get a lot of data quickly. Try small searches of a dataset to start to get a sense for the data, then you can increase the amount of data you get. See `griddap` for more details.
