The easiest way to get your dataset URLs is to let the NetCDF Subset Service (NCSS) build them for you.
1. Navigate to the catalog from the NCCS Dataserver page, Catalog, and click through the options to the data access page for your variable.
2. Under Access, click on the “NetCDFSubset” link.
This is the NCCS dataset variable access page for an example variable. The URL is displayed at the bottom of the page and is modified as coordinates (top right) and time subsets (bottom right) are changed. Uncheck the Disable horizontal subsetting box to edit the bounding box coordinates and remember to check the variable box (tasmin).
Most requests will be too large for the server to deliver but you can cut and paste this URL, for use in OPeNDAP-compatible applications, onto the command line or into your favorite text editor for inclusion in a list for further editing. Example URL:
