If you can connect to a RAMADDA server that is properly configured to run off
an X server, you can display NetCDF grid files via an embedded IDV interface.

Subject: Re: [netcdfgroup] Pure web app. to display netCDF files?
Charlie,
For clarification, are these remote NetCDF files that you want to visualize
accessible via OPeNDAP or just HTTP?
If just HTTP, do you need the web client to be able to subset them using
byte-range requests like netCDF-Java does (like this:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/current/netcdf-java/reference/HTTPservice.html)
?
