In order to access DAP data sources, you need a special format URL; E.g.
[limit=5]http://test.opendap.org/dods/dts/test.32.X?windW[0:10:2]&CS02.light>0
1. [limit=5]
2. http://test.opendap.org/dods/dts/test.32.X
3. ?windW[0:10:2]
4. &CS02.light>0
Pieces mean the following:
- 2. Location of data source and its part, where X is one of "dds", "das", or "dods"
- 3,4. Constraints on what part of the data source is to be sent
- Constraint has two parts: projections and selections
- 3. Projection indicates the slice of variables to be sent
- 4. Selection applies only to sequences and indicates a subset of the sequence to send
- 1. Finally: it is possible to further limit the number of instances that are seen by the client code
