Re: [thredds] Albers or LCC supported as a WMS projection on the TDS?

Ethan,

That's great that Albers, LCC and others should work with TDS 4.3 WMS.

That means it should work on:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:9080/thredds
which is at TDS 4.3.15.

So on that server, I can get this WMS request to work using EPSG:4326:

http://motherlode.ucar.edu:9080/thredds/wms/grib/NCEP/NAM/CONUS_12km/files/NAM_CONUS_12km_20121017_1200.grib2?LAYERS=Temperature_height_above_ground&ELEVATION=2&TIME=2012-10-17T12%3A00%3A00.000Z&TRANSPARENT=true&STYLES=boxfill%2Frainbow&CRS=EPSG%3A4326&COLORSCALERANGE=263.7%2C302.6&NUMCOLORBANDS=20&LOGSCALE=false&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-128.16154395928,13.676912081443,-76.323087918557,65.515368122164&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256

But I can't get anything else to work.

Can you provide a modified version of the above request that works for
Albers (EPSG:9822) or LCC (EPSG:9802)
