Hi ;-) Dont forget that we oughtta get together ;-)) Here's the quick question...What is returned from the Thredds Data Server (eg: when I geoGrid.subset(...))? If I were to NOT use a Netcdf API, how would I parse/interpret the data that is streamed back from any Thredds request? Is there a document/specificationthat describes the data stream? Ditto for the inbound request protocol. The reason I ask is because we need to document our inbound protocols andoutbound data formats, so that 3rd party clients can request/read our data using their own code. And I am thinking that using Thredds out of the box is the best architectural solution (rather than growing our own in/out protocol ordittoing existing ones). ;-) You da man....
Hi Rob, im outta town for the week, not sure when we can meet for now...geoGrid.subset(...) returns a GridDatatype object, useable only within Java. whats on the network wire depends on the data access protocol, eg. opendap or WCS.
