we have a web start demo at:

http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf-java/v2.2/webstart/index.html

at this time there isn't much documentation, about demo but there is about
catalogs at:
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/projects/THREDDS/tech/index.html

i would suggest doing the web start, then click on the "thredds" tab and
enter catalog:

http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8088/thredds/catalog.xml

the dataset menus are all driven by catalogs. if you click on the catalog
url on the right pane it will expand to it's text view.

feel free to click any tab and view the data, etc. i would appreciate you
comments about it. the web start Tools is a test client for the product
Thredds Data Server that resides on motherlode that based on the Common
Data Model. the idea is to leave the data in it's naive format but be able
to server it through the Thredds Data Server.

hopefull that's enough info to get you started.
