NJ folks,

In the Common Data Model Scientific Datatypes docs, there is mention
of a "profile feature collection"

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/CDM/
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/reference/FeatureDatasets/PointFeatures.html

Profile data seem like a natural fit for OpenDAP sequences as a
delivery mechanism over the web and NetCDF4 as a persistence format,
so I'm wondering:

Is the profile scientific feature type designed to be compatible with
Dapper sequences for profile data?

Is there an example of a NetCDF4 file that contains a profile feature
collection?

Thanks,
Rich
