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.

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
Hi Rich: We are working on netcdf3-CF encodings of all the Point Feature types: https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/wiki/PointObservationConventions Ill start to make a collection of sample files as I get them. We have not yet started to look at ways to use the new features of netcdf-4 for this. The new CDM Point Feature APIs all map well to opendap sequences and dapper, although the actual work has not been done. One issue is that I dont know of any clients who could make use of this. Do you have any in mind?
