NJ folks,
In the Common Data Model Scientific Datatypes docs, there is mention
of a "profile feature collection"
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/CDM/
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/reference/FeatureDatasets/PointFeatures.html
Profile data seem like a natural fit for OpenDAP sequences as a
delivery mechanism over the web and NetCDF4 as a persistence format,
so I'm wondering:
Is the profile scientific feature type designed to be compatible with
Dapper sequences for profile data?
Is there an example of a NetCDF4 file that contains a profile feature
collection?
Thanks,
Rich
Hi Rich:
We are working on netcdf3-CF encodings of all the Point Feature types:
https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/wiki/PointObservationConventions
Ill start to make a collection of sample files as I get them. We have not yet
started to look at ways to use the new features of netcdf-4 for this.
The new CDM Point Feature APIs all map well to opendap sequences and dapper,
although the actual work has not been done. One issue is that I dont know of
any clients who could make use of this. Do you have any in mind?
