Re: [thredds] Providing data access to GIS users

Jay, I just re-read your original email.  I am working on a downscaling wind
model and had to read subsetted netcdf weather model files from NCEP via a
thredds server.  At the time I was using GDAL to read and re-project
datasets.  It did not support several cf projections, including lcc.  So I
added them and it has been working well for me.  like I said before, I don't
know when ESRI will start using the newest version.  If you have more
questions with functionality in the gdal netcdf driver, let me know.
