Hi Victoria, I have implemented something similar for a Raster Time Series for Drought Monitoring data, embedded into a portal for visualizing and analyzing the data.
The approach included: *Time enabled Geoserver ImageMosaic:* I know that this is sometimes a bit sensible, but for me it worked fine. Which problems are you experiencing exactly? Did you make sure that your regexp is matching the date in your raster file names (try on regex101.com for example), is your database writeable and is there no preexisting table for the image mosaic? Might be worth sending a mail to the GeoServer User Mailinglist to work on them. *Web interface based on OpenLayers and GeoExt/ExtJS (this can easily be replaced by JQuery, probably also the easier solution):* On load the interface fetches all the available dates and places them in a datastore (I did this through a JSON file that contained all date entries, dumped from the granule index in the database). Based on this datastore I created a zoomable timeline that shows all entries, along with a slider and buttons for jumping to the next, previous, first or last entry in the timeline. In case you select a specific time the "time" parameter of your time-enabled raster layer needs to be updated accordingly. If you want to animate your time series you would have to automate the process of updating the time parameter (with a certain delay). Generally I would implement some kind of Publish/Subscribe-model, i.e. you have an event like "timeChange" that you publish to from your time slider and from your animation function. The time slider, map and maybe the central data store would subscribe to this event and would be updated accordingly whenever the event is triggered. For example, you change your date through the animation function which publishes the event "timeChange" with the new date, which in turn updates the map view and the time slider. Currently don't have code examples at hand, but I suppose there should be some available on the internet.
