Authenticated OPeNDAP URL with username and password:
http://username:password@apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu/thredds/dodsC/[authenticated_directory(s)]/[dataset]
Note: Advanced analysis and visualization packages require username and password to be included in the URL.
For example, NLOM SSH OPeNDAP URL is: http://apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu/thredds/dodsC/las/nlomnowcast/data_apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu_dods_public_data_NLOM_nlom_ssh.jnl
