Thanks John. You just made my life easier. We will give it some testing over the next several weeks to months.

yes, we support mercator projection. you should probably test test the WCS with that projection, though, but i suspect it will be ok.

Hi John:
In the work we are doing with the NOAA IOOS program office, we may have to be able to provide data that is in a Mercator projection (i prefer just giving a lat-lon grid and letting the client side re-project the data but we may not have that option.). This would be through the WCS service in the TDS, using netcdf as the file format. I believe TDS allows for some projections, is that correct? Is mercator one of them? If not, since I believe there are some projections, there might be some easy hooks for someone like Bob Simons to add that. 

Basically any info you can provide would be helpful.
