Hi Laney-

>Operating System: os.name:Windows XP; os.arch:x86; os.version:5.1;
>Hardware Information: java.vendor:Sun Microsystems Inc.; java.version:1.4.2_08

>Inquiry: Hi,
>I'm just learning the IDV.  I was trying to get a pole to pole cross section o

I would use the IDD Model data and the GFS Global 5x5 degree grids.

>I did a routine request for this data using the same steps that work fine for

There is a problem with this server and we should remove it from the 
the list of WMS servers.  A WMS server provides a static image for the
region selected.

Unfortunately, we don't have such a glossary.  Sometimes just using
Google might get you just as much information.  We will try to add
some documentation links to the catalogs that we maintain.  Thanks
for that suggestion.
