Hi Doug, In a phone message, you asked about applets for browsing netCDF files. (I tried to leave a reply message, but your phone mailbox was not accepting messages, because it's full.) I don't know of any applets just for browsing netCDF files, but there are other ways to provide similar functionality. The applet model is not necessarily the best way to do this, partly because applet security makes it difficult to read files that aren't on the HTTP server, and if you're going to do that, you might be better off using another approach such as servlets, JSP, or WebStart. I especially like WebStart, which will be built into J2SE 1.4, but is already available as an add-on for most Java platforms. To see an advanced web interface to netCDF data that uses some applets and other technology, look at http://web1.cdc.noaa.gov/lasServers/lasAg/ for example. If you want details on how this was done, ask Roland Schweitzer at NOAA/CDC or Steve Hankin at NOAA/PMEL. There are papers about it in the last AMS IIPS conference proceedings. I'm pretty sure they are using the C or C++ interface to the netCDF files on the back end and Java to provide the interface. --Russ
