Thanks John. Programmatic use is what we had in mind. Am I correct form reading over the pages that we also must have a "Data Description" XML document. Does that need to be in any particular place.
The "Data Description" XML document is automatically generated. We are still playing around with what that format should be.
Several of the links on the pages associated with that are broken, such as:http://motherlode.ucar.edu:9080/thredds/ncss/grid/fmrc/NCEP/NAM/CONUS_80km/NCEP-NAM-CONUS_80km_best.ncd/dataset.htmlwhich is referenced from:http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/interfaceSpec/GridDataSubsetService.html
thanks
Right now it is something we just want to experiment with on our internal server. I expect in a short while we will have Java code that can output to other formats - perhaps it would be of some use.
which formats are you thinking?
