The Environmental Research Division Data Access Program (ERDDAP) is a visualization and data conversion tool that can incorporate multiple data subsets from different sources into a single workspace. It can convert disparate data types into a common format. ERDDAP was developed at the former Environment Research Division of NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center.

Data Types
Gridded Data (GridDAP)
GridDAP datasets are multidimensional grids with shared dimensions. They typically have time, vertical, north-south, and east-west dimensions, or any combination of these. The horizontal dimensions may either be geographic or arbitrary Cartesian coordinates. All NCEI data currently in the NCEI-NC ERDDAP is grid data.
Table Data (TableDAP)
TableDAP data sets look like a spreadsheet or database table, and can be queried like a database table. ERDDAP makes it possible to access any dataset in this format.
