  • Subject: [THREDDS #DMK-313387]: Related to data dissemination
  • Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:37:31 -0700
Hi Ghansham,

The THREDDS Data Server (TDS) provides a number of data access mechanisms. 
OPeNDAP, OGC WCS, and the NetCDF Subset Service (NCSS) all provide subsetting 
capabilities and return data in various formats. OGC WMS provides subsetting 
and regridding capabilities and returns images. The Godiva web interface makes 
requests of the WMS service and then displays the requested images.

There are a number of applications that can read data directly from a THREDDS 
server (IDV, ferret, etc.). Is accessing the data through a client application 
the goal? Or do your users want to download data files? If the latter, the NCSS 
may be the best bet. OGC WCS would be another option.

Hope that helps,

Ethan
