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.

This is great news, a good step along the road we're all headed. Norman mentioned what is also the end game for us - the WCS *spec* supports arbitrary 1-,2-,3- or 4-d slices in a fully 4-d dataset, eg:*3-d volume (lat-lon-height): http://glue.badc.rl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mapserv?REQUEST=GetCoverage&SERVICE=WCS&Version=1.0.0&Coverage=temperature&BBOX=-180,-90,179,90,0,1000&CRS=some3dCRS&FORMAT=CF-netCDF
*Hovmuller (lat vs time): http://glue.badc.rl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mapserv?REQUEST=GetCoverage&SERVICE=WCS&Version=1.0.0&Coverage=temp&BBOX=10,-90,10,90,500,500&TIME=1996/2005/1&CRS=some3dCRS&FORMAT=netCDF
*Vertical slice through atmosphere (lat vs height): http://glue.badc.rl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mapserv?REQUEST=GetCoverage&SERVICE=WCS&Version=1.0.0&Coverage=temp&BBOX=10,-90,10,90,0,1000&CRS=some3dCRS&FORMAT=netCDF These are all *valid WCS requests*!!! My understanding, however, is that fundamental 2-D limitations in GDAL will make this extremely difficult to achieve in Mapserver - any views to the contrary?
