John,
Can you help point me in the right direction? We have only one novice
Java programmer here, and I'm not even sure how big my project is.
We have a Java applet that reads netCDF files and interactively
displays the data ( http://www.srh.noaa.gov/abrfc/precip/zoom.php ).
I want to save user bandwith by reading gzipped netcdf files instead.
I can read the zipped file using java.util.zip, but the netCDF Java
library only reads from netCDF files, not from a memory buffer.
How hard will it be for a decent Java programmer to extend the netCDF
java library (specifically NetcdfFile?) to read from buffer instead of
file?
Thank you for your time. (....even moreso if you have the time to reply!)

Hi Ken:
unzip the file into a byte array, then call
NetcdfFile.openInMemory(String location, byte[] data)
then it should work as usual
make sure you have the latest version (2.2.06)
