Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Re: notes from telecon

NOTE: The galeon mailing list is no longer active. The list archives are made available for historical reasons.

Ben asked me to summarize the conversation about GDAL. I will do so in the expectation that Frank will correct/elaborate:
The GDAL library now reads NetCDF files using the CF-1 convention into GDAL's georeferencing data model, and so users of GDAL can now translate NetCDF/CF into GDAL's various outputs. The CF Convention parsing is done "loosely", meaning it doesnt try to do strict CF conformance.
This should allow WCS clients using GDAL (eg CadCORP) to recieve NetCDF files from the WCS server and properly display them, instead of needing to get GeoTIFFS. It should enable WCS servers using GDAL (eg MapServer) to read NetCDF/CF files and serve them over WCS.
