Hi All,
GDAL has support for NetCDF, I believe it is currently developed by
Denis Nadeau and Frank Warmerdam. I think that the driver has support
for reading the CF conventions as well.
I also would like to point out that during the ADAGUC project another
NetCDF4 driver is developed for GDAL which can read and write the ADAGUC
NetCDF4 data product standard
(http://adaguc.knmi.nl/contents/documents/ADAGUC_Standard.html). It
supports the CF-1.4 conventions and it is being used in combination with
UMN MapServer for all WMS, WFS and WCS services available within the
ADAGUC project. For more information see this wiki on OSGeo:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ADAGUC. Note that the driver accepts
ADAGUC files only...
Regards,
Maarten

Hi Ben:
I do not know about FOSS4G per se, but the major sponsor of it appears
to be OSGeo (http://www.osgeo.org/). They are responsible for
Mapserver and Geotools and most importantly GDAL. GDAL is a nice tool
for converting between formats, and supports Netcdf and OpeNDAP, at
least partially (I can't remember if it is limited in dimensions with
netcdf), and provides the conversion for Mapserver. Conversations
about supporting netcdf4 or related things would strike me as valuable.

Hi again,
Periodically, I get a suggestion that GALEON and THREDDS would be
good candidates for participation in the Free and Open Source
Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) movement, initiative, project,
community, or whatever it is. I briefly looked into it one time earlier
http://sites.google.com/site/galeonteam/Home/GALEON%20Phase2%20Main%20Page/Unidata%20OGC%20Interoperability%20Day%20Presentations
but it came up at the recent OGC TC again.
Do any of you have any experience with, thoughts on, or suggestions
regarding whether participating in FOSS4G would indeed be an
effective approach to furthering our particular --
implementation-oriented approach to interoperability?
