[thredds] Dumping 1D data THREDDS data as tabular output?

[Roy Mendelssohn]

ERDDAP - http://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap.  it  can create a  
csv file, but even more, you can just paste the URL into the "Open  
File" dialog box in Excel, and it will read the data into Excel.  I  
can send you a movie showing that.
