-Currently, only the `OPeNDAP` access service is fully operative in the portal. Therefore, in this example, we will illustrate the use of this service, which allows selecting time/spatial data slices from the `OPeNDAP` data access form shown in Fig. \ref{fig:opendapwin} and downloading the resulting data in both ''ASCII'' and ''Binary'' formats.

  1. To get ''ASCII'' or ''binary'' values for the selected variables, click on the ''Get ASCII'' or ''Get Binary'' buttons of the ''Action'' field. Note that the URL displayed in the ''Data URL'' field is updated as you select and/or constrain variables. The URL in this field can be cut and pasted in various `OPeNDAP` clients.
 
-The main disadvantage of the `OPeNDAP` service from the end-user point of view is that the specifications for subsetting dimensions are not given in their original magnitudes (i.e., latitudes and longitudes are not given in decimal degrees), but by the indexes of their position along their respective axes (note that first index value is always 0). Thus, to find out the indexes for the desired selection, we need to dump and analyze the particular values defined in the coordinate variable. For instance, Fig.~\ref{fig:latlonDump} shows the 241 values defined for the `lat` (latitude) coordinate, as provided by the ''Get ASCII'' option (selecting the corresponding check-box).
