Hello,

I would like to create Web Coverage Service from one netCDF file in following http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/WCSServerFormatHowTo

My netCDF store rainfall matrix every five minutes in the "pluie" variable. This the CDL :

dimensions:

   time = UNLIMITED;   // (496 currently)   // (has coord.var)
   x = 50;   // (has coord.var)
   y = 50;   // (has coord.var)
variables:
   int Lambert_Conformal;
     :grid_mapping_name = "lambert_conformal_conic";
     :standard_parallel = 43.20317, 44.99683; // double
     :longitude_of_central_meridian = 2.337229; // double
     :latitude_of_projection_origin = 44.1; // double
     :false_easting = 600.0; // double
     :false_northing = 3200.0; // double
     :_CoordinateTransformType = "Projection";
     :_CoordinateSystems = "ProjectionCoordinateSystem";
     :_CoordinateAxes = "y x";
     :_CoordinateAxisTypes = "GeoX GeoY";
*   double pluie(time=496, y=50, x=50);*
*     :units = "mm/h";*
*     :long_name = "Intensité de pluie";*
*     :coordinates = "lat lon";*
*     :grid_mapping = "Lambert_Conformal";*
*     :_CoordinateSystems = "ProjectionCoordinateSystem 
LatLonCoordinateSystem";*

Vincent,

Because GDAL treats this array as a single dataset having 496 bands, I don't
believe there is a way to properly create a tileindex with one entry per
time slice, referring back directly to that band though this is something that
I think was discussed at one point.

You *can* serve the pluie array, but it will be represented as having 496
bands along a dimension called Band instead of time.

Hopefully Steve will correct me if I am wrong.  What would be nice
is a way to have WCS (and raster rendering in general) potentially
override the BANDS= processing option with information read from a
tile index, and then update the gdaltindex program accordingly to
generate such results.  This shouldn't - in theory - be too hard to
implement.

Best regards,
--
