NetCDF Subset Service Reference

[Roy Mendelssohn]

Thanks John.  Programmatic use is what we had in mind.  Am I correct  
form reading over the pages that we also must have a "Data  
Description" XML document.  Does that need to be in any particular  
place.

Several of the links on the pages associated with that are broken,  
such as:

> http://motherlode.ucar.edu:9080/thredds/ncss/grid/fmrc/NCEP/NAM/ 
> CONUS_80km/NCEP-NAM-CONUS_80km_best.ncd/dataset.html

which is referenced from:

> http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/interfaceSpec/ 
> GridDataSubsetService.html

Right now it is something we just want to experiment with on our  
internal server.  I expect in a short while we will have Java code  
that can output to other formats - perhaps it would be of some use.
