yes, we support mercator projection. you should probably test test the WCS with that projection, though, but i suspect it will be ok. Roy Mendelssohn wrote:
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. -Roy ********************** "The contents of this message do not reflect any position of the U.S. Government or NOAA." ********************** Roy Mendelssohn Supervisory Operations Research Analyst NOAA/NMFS Environmental Research Division Southwest Fisheries Science Center 1352 Lighthouse Avenue Pacific Grove, CA 93950-2097 e-mail: address@hidden (Note new e-mail address) voice: (831)-648-9029 fax: (831)-648-8440 www: http://www.pfeg.noaa.gov/ "Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill."
