Pacific Ocean Observing Datasets Search (PacIOOS ERDDAP)
paciooserddap/search-datasets
Full-text search of the PacIOOS ERDDAP catalogue (Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System, University of Hawaii) for datasets matching words such as wave buoy, sea surface temperature, coral or tide gauge. Rows have title, summary, institution, Dataset ID and service links, best match first; page and itemsPerPage (1 to 20) are required. A search with no matches, or a page past the last, is refused as a validation error. Check a dataset's licence with paciooserddap/get-dataset-info before reusing its data. PacIOOS data served by Eden Engine; not an official PacIOOS product.
