title: R - read.csv via a link on a web site
body: <p>I would like to access data from the below website using R rather than manually downloading, unzipping and saving to my computer. For example, I am trying to get the Seasonal (Winter) data.</p>
  <p><a href="https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/OC5/woa18/woa18.pl?parameter=t" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/OC5/woa18/woa18.pl?parameter=t</a></p>
  <p>I tried the below code but it didn't work (as I expected) and Googling hasn't helped me solve the issue (I may not be using the best search terms...). Any ideas are appreciated!</p>
