How to access data from an OPeNDAP server starting with a web browser

  1. Go to an OPeNDAP server, e.g. opendap.deltares.nl. A growing list of external OPeNDAP servers is here. OpenEarth has two implementations of OPeNDAP operational running on exactly the same file server: THREDDS and HYRAX. Because they serve the exact same data, it does not matter which one you choose, we choose THREDDS here, because that one seems to have a wider use. Additional implementations are pydap, GrADS and Dapper
  2. scroll down the directories: we chose to sort by owner, and then by data name.

  4. This in the 'DataURL' box can copied into in OPeNDAP-enabled netCDF clients, e.g. Matlab:
