Hi Martin:
Sorry to make you alpha test my code.

A very preliminary WCS server for these three datasets is at:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8088/thredds/wcs?request=GetCapabilities&version=1.0.0&service=WCS&dataset=striped.nc
This request does not list any coverages.
ok, this is fixed now, by remaking striped.nc to have rectified latitude.
 
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8088/thredds/wcs?request=GetCapabilities&version=1.0.0&service=WCS&dataset=sst.nc
The CoverageOfferingBrief/lonLatEnvelope in this request is zero-sized>in "X":
 <gml:pos>0.0 90.0</gml:pos> 
 <gml:pos>0.0 -80.0</gml:pos>
I think that it should read:
 <gml:pos>0.0 0.0</gml:pos> 
 <gml:pos>90.0 -80.0</gml:pos> 
ok, i fixed this, but now im giving out:
 <CoverageOfferingBrief>
     <name>tos</name>
     <label>Sea Surface Temperature</label>
     <lonLatEnvelope srsName="WGS84(DD)">
       <gml:pos>1.0 -79.5</gml:pos>
       <gml:pos>359.0 89.5</gml:pos>
     </lonLatEnvelope>
   </CoverageOfferingBrief>
note that longitude lies between 0 and 360. Is that a problem?

The following request returns a service exception:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8088/thredds/wcs?dataset=298935747&SERVICE=WCS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetCoverage&COVERAGE=Geopotential_height&Vertical100.0&CRS=EPSG%3a4326&BBOX=-134.219744726619,11.1171909778786,-47.4401144379956,57.6519310982145&FORMAT=GeoTIFF&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml
The spaces in the "Vertical=" KVP are from our client taking the literal value 
from the following request:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8088/thredds/wcs?dataset=298935747&REQUEST=DescribeCoverage&SERVICE=WCS&VERSION=1.0.0&COVERAGE=Geopotential_height
Are they intentional?  The GetCoverage request fails with and without the 
spaces:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8088/thredds/wcs?dataset=298935747&SERVICE=WCS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetCoverage&COVERAGE=Geopotential_height&Vertical=100.0&CRS=EPSG%3a4326&BBOX=-134.219744726619,11.1171909778786,-47.4401144379956,57.6519310982145&FORMAT=GeoTIFF&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml
 
i will fix the spaces in the Vertical DescribeCoverage, and check to see if 
your request works.
there is another problem that Stefano pointed out. I am requiring a KVP 
dataset=sst.nc. This appears to not be kosher w/respect to WCS spec. Does 
anyone have any opinions on that? What do other servers when they have many 
datasets to serve?
