Hi Roy, With the RSI IDL wcs add on, I've tried 4 of your "aggregated" datasets and all of them returned a geoTIFF without an error message. A couple returned geoTIFFfloat, but a couple others time out. I am unable to access any of the coverages in netCDF form via IDL WCS client. All such attempts return an error message of one sort or another. I haven't done this very systematically yet, so I haven't kept track of the error messages, etc. Are any of these more "important" than others or easier to visualize and interpret? I have no way to evaluate whether the coverages that do come across make any sense. A handful of "use cases" and expected displays would help in the checkout process. As to where to publish your WCS server, I need to give that a bit more thought. I was attempting to shift from the GALEON wiki which worked pretty well last year to the GALEON OGCnetwork this year. But I'm not sure the OGCnetwork approach works well for community contributions. http://www.ogcnetwork.net/galeon Maybe some of the others have suggestions for how to use the OGCnetwork in this fashion. -- Ben On 6/12/06, Roy Mendelssohn <Roy.Mendelssohn@xxxxxxxx> wrote:
One addendum - could some one who knows the WCS syntax better than I check that the "format=NetCDF3" option is working. I can test the GeoTiFF option in Map Browser. With netcdf, i am not certain I have it all set up right, in particular which variables are absolutely required etc. etc. Or to put it another way, if it doesn't work I am not certain if it isn't work or if I am sending it a bad string. Thanks for any help. -Roy M. At 4:53 PM -0700 6/12/06, Roy Mendelssohn wrote:I have lost track where we are suppose to put this information. With the advent of TDS 3.10, which allows aggregated datasets to be served using WCS, we now have a large amount of satellite data being served using both OpeNDAP and WCS. This includes near-real time and science quality data, and some e=experiment products such as a primary productivity index and a front probability map. There may still be some bugs here and there, but most of the datasets appear to work. The THREDDS catalog that can give the URL for these services is: http://oceanwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov:8081/thredds/catalog.html All the satellite data under the heading "Aggregation Satellite Datasets" should have WCS services. Please let is know if you find any problems. Besides calls using curl, we have tested some of these in Map Browser. If there is some other place I should also be putting this information, please let me know. We thank John Caron and Co. for adding the ability to serve the aggregate data using WCS. Our servers were implemented by Jerome KIng who put a lot of time into this. -Roy
