This is a summary of GALEON WCS testing using the DataFed client.

DataFed ( www.datafed.net <http://www.datafed.net>) is a web service based 
infrastructure that is used primarily to share air quality related data. It includes 
a viewer for exploring data in spatial and temporal displays. DataFed is 
participating in GALEON as a WCS client and has been tested with WCS coverages from 
Unidata, U. Florence, and GMU. Test results are posted on the Wiki 
(http://galeon-wcs.jot.com/WikiHome/Client%20Server%20Interaction%20Status%20Table) 
and on the DataFed site (http://www.datafed.net/DataLinks/OGC/DataFed_WCSClient.htm).

Here is an example of how the THREDDS WCS for CDM gridded data "look" in 
DataFed:
http://webapps.datafed.net/dvoy_services/datafed.aspx?dataset_abbr=THREDDS_CDM

The gridded data can be explored within the DataFed Viewer by changing the 
date/time with the time controls or selecting a different coverage from a 
drop-down list.

Please let us know if you have a WCS you would like to test in DataFed or if 
you have any comments regarding the DataFed client.
