Hi carl:

Its just an oversight that the html is not displaying the resolution; we 
will fix this in our latest version. It is still in the xml.

I guess you would have to add the resolution like this:

<geospatialCoverage>
<eastwest>
 <start>0.0<start>
 <size>360.0</size>
 <resolution>2.0</resolution>
</eastwest>
<name vocabulary="Thredds">global</name>
</geospatialCoverage>

We can add it to the list of issues as to whether to allow resolution 
without the start, size.
