[IDV #GFM-139212]: IDV - Sigma coordinates in IDV

Hi Andrew,

You can configure the THREDDS Data Server (TDS) to generate the currently 
available datasets 'on the fly'. The main docs for the TDS are at

http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/docs/

The "Getting Started" link 
(http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/docs/GettingStarted.html) goes over 
the basics. What you probably want is to include a <datasetScan> element in the 
TDS config file. There is details on the datasetScan at

http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/docs/datasetScan/

From your example, something like this might work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<catalog
    xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/thredds/InvCatalog/v1.0";
    name="Unidata IDV Catalogs">
 
  <service name="champ" serviceType="OPeNDAP" base="/thredds/dodsC/" />

  <dataset name="my data">
    <metadata inherited="true">
      <serviceName>champ</serviceName>
    </metadata>
    <datasetScan name="CHAMP netCDF" path="champ"
                 location="/usr/local/AMPS/idv/data/incoming/champ/nz12kmn/" />

  </dataset>   

</catalog>

You might want a seperate datasetScan for champ and one for ec_ens. I wasn't 
sure what the directory structure looked like so I only did one datasetScan. 
Also, I only included an OPeNDAP server. You can include other data services as 
described in the TDS Configuration reference:

http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/docs/Configuration.html

I'm not sure about including the NcML file. I will leave the answer to this for 
John to answer.

Hope this helps.
