Locate stations by specifying one or more of the following
query criteria.
NOTE: The maximum number of stations that can be retrieved
in one selection is
100000.
If the criteria specified would retrieve more, only the
station count will be returned. You may retrieve larger numbers
of stations by making several smaller selections.

Step 1. Specify the Spatial Range:
|
To select the region of interest, do one of three things:
- Enter values in the text fields below; or
- Mouse-drag on the map and click "OK" to place values in the
text boxes; or
- Select an ocean basin using the radio buttons
Northernmost Latitude
Westernmost Longitude

|
Use custom area selected above by Latitude and Longitude;
or select an ocean basin:

Step 2. Specify Date Range:
|
Select begin and end dates using the pull-down lists, or
enter dates in the text areas.
The range of acceptable dates is
from January 1, 1990 to present.
Examples of acceptable text date formats include:
'February 20, 2002'
'20 Feb 2002' '02/20/2002' '2002 02 20' '20020220'
If you wish to use the pull-down lists, leave the text areas blank.
If there is a text entry, it will be used
in preference to the pull-down list selection.

Step 3. Specify Season Range:
|
In addition to the date range (above), you may also specify
a range of days to define a season; for example, if you
want to retrieve only winter data, you might select
December 15 through March 14, or January 1 through March 31.
As with the date range, you may enter the begin and end dates
for the season as text (month and day), which will be used instead
of the pull-down selection if it is filled in.
To make no season selection, leave the default entry
(Jan 01 to Dec 31).
