Hello!
I'm *just* now starting to explore the jython capabilities in the IDV.
I would like to write a script that the user enters a lat/lon and a
date/time and from that, have the IDV plot an image for a radar nearest
to that point and nearest that time. This would be run headless for web
images.
I'm working on a "nearest radar chooser", but the big hurdle I'm facing
is: is there a way with IDV/Jython to read and parse the top level catalog
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/catalog/nexrad/level2/catalog.xml
or even
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/catalog/nexrad/level2/Kxxx/catalog.xml
to get the available dates and times so I could then build the url for
makeDataSource?
-kevin.
