> Hello,

i think the URL you mean is:

http://opendap.aviso.altimetry.fr/thredds/dodsC/dataset-duacs-dt-global-allsat-madt-h.asc?adt[7181][520:523][1158:1159]

you can get it back in binary with

http://opendap.aviso.altimetry.fr/thredds/dodsC/dataset-duacs-dt-global-allsat-madt-h.dods?adt[7181][520:523][1158:1159]
