Re: [galeon] URLs for WCS servers?

Thanks for the information, Dominic.   I've had only very limited experience so 
far and my usual arcGIS consultants are unavailable at the moment, but it 
appears that I may have jumped to a wrong conclusion when I thought it did not 
support netCDF encoding.  So I encourage others to let me know if they do have 
WCS servers that provide datasets encoded in CF-netCDF.

Hi Ben,

Feel free to try:

http://ndgbeta.badc.rl.ac.uk/wcs/badc.nerc.ac.uk__NDG-A0__AWQX8gTc?Service=WCS&request=GetCapabilities&Version=1.0.0

It serves 1.0.0 and (to some extent) 1.1.0. However it only returns NetCDF
so
may not be much use for your experiment. For 1.1.0 it will return NetCDF
encoded alongside the coverages XML document as a MultipartMime - I'd be
interested to know if the ArcGIs client decodes it.

As an aside, the python WCS client library I was working on has now been
released as part of the OWSLib library:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/OWSLib/0.3

I would also be interested in testing this against other servers (netcdf or
otherwise).

Regards,

Dominic
