Re: [thredds] cannot figure out why WCS won't work with this FMRC

Thanks again, Jonathan! That fixed things up nicely: WCS works now.
Cheers,
John Maurer

P.S. For Unidata: The TDS WCS documentation (
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/reference/WCS.html)
states that the Z axis must also be regularly spaced. This doesn't seem to
be true since our depths are not regularly spaced: -5500, -5000, -4500,
-4000, -3500, -3000, -2500, -2000, -1750, -1500, -1400, -1300, -1200,
-1100, -1000, -900, -800, -700, -600, -500, -400, -300, -250, -200, -150,
-125, -100, -75, -50, -30, -20, -10, -5. Might need to update the
documentation on that page. Thanks.
