So, in a web browser, if you go to: http://ingrid.ldeo.columbia.edu/SOURCES/.NOAA/.NODC/.WOA98/.MONTHLY/ and click on the "analyzed" link and then on the "apparent oxygen utilization" link, you can enter the link to that page followed by dods into the URL chooser: http://ingrid.ldeo.columbia.edu/SOURCES/.NOAA/.NODC/.WOA98/.MONTHLY/.analyzed/.AOU/dods and set the Data Source Type to be "Grid files (netCDF/GRIB/OPeNDAP/GEMPAK)".
