Hi Roy,I'm written a C application using the OCAPI. The application produces the url, sends it to the server, and accepts binary results.
I want the server to do the subsetitng, and pass the subsetted results to my application. Presumably this
would be more efficient than asking the application to do it.The server is stuck behind our firewall I'm afraid. Presumably there is some configuration magic I still need to do to get ncss to work, if there is a way for me to use ncss effectively.

Hi Eric: It is unclear if what you are asking is that you only want the TDS to display a subset of the data to the user, or if you want to know how a user can subset the data that is being served by the TDS. If the latter, what applications do you use or do you just want to use the hrml page. Either way, is the TDS publicly accessible? Thanks, -Roy M.

The netcdf file was generated by a third parties software, and is probably not compliant with anything. As subset of its schema is shown below. If I rename some coordinate variables, I should be able to make it compliant with some convention. My question is how do I most efficiently extract a 3D subset? I want to extract a subset of depth as well as a subset of longitude and latitude. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thank you.
