The data retrieval URL, a find request, provides access to COVAR_SPAT and COVAR_FRAGSTAT layer data via latitude/longitude parameters, or a global unique identifier parameter for a single observation record. The find request will accept parameters to query for a single COVAR layer value, all layers in a specific COVAR table, or all layer values in the COVAR schema for a particular lat/lon or GlobalUniqueID. A find request will also accept a format parameter that specifies a response data format of XML or CSV.
Note: Currently use of the GlobalUniqueID parameter is restricted to public data records only.
