Re: [thredds] WMS capabilities

Hi Marcos, Pauline,

I'm not seeing any CRS elements in the GetCapabilities document at this
link:

http://limia.meteogalicia.es/thredds/wms/modelos/WRF/diario/20090331/wrf_arw_det_20090331_36km_00Z_1d.nc?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities

I just talked to Jeff, one of the IDV developers, and that seems to be
the problem the IDV is tripping over (though he just added code to
default to "CRS:84" if none is found). I'm guessing that is the problem
Marcos saw for the other WMS clients as well.

I'm wondering if the projection is getting lost somehow for this
dataset. The project is Lambert Conformal, here's the OPeNDAP DAS
snippet for the projection variable:

    Lambert_Conformal {
        String grid_mapping_name "lambert_conformal_conic";
        Float64 longitude_of_central_meridian -14.100000381469727;
        Float64 standard_parallel 43.0, 43.0;
        Float64 latitude_of_projection_origin 24.22800064086914;
        Float64 false_easting 2182.62935;
        Float64 false_northing -269.65597;
    }

The netCDF-Java library, so ToolsUI (as Marcos mentioned) and IDV,
recognize the grid. Though whether they use the projection information
or the lat/lon variables isn't clear.

I'm not going to be able to dig into this any further until at least end
of next week. Pauline, Jon, I'm wondering (from my hazy understanding of
the ncWMS code) if the projection somehow fails to get mapped into a CRS
that GeoTools recognizes and it then does not default to try the lat/lon
grid that is also given in the dataset.
