I'd like to second Roy's statements about the need for capabilities for
gridded to point intercomparions. There are many ways in terms of
interpolation, and I see a need to be able for users (scientists) to
plug in their own methods- beyond simple interpolation...we need options
for this.

Other features we are planning or considering:
* The OPeNDAP/NetCDF server will be enhanced to replace the DODS
Aggregation Server functionality. This should allow aggregation to be
done efficiently on files other than NetCDF.
* add a built-in FTP and/or GridFTP server.
* read NetCDF-4 and HDF5 files.
* create aggregation services for point/station observation datasets.
* make all datasets viewable through the IDV
We would like to know what features are a priority for you over the
next year. Please send your thoughts to thredds@unidata.
The combination of :
* The OPeNDAP/NetCDF server will be enhanced to replace the DODS
Aggregation Server functionality. This should allow aggregation to be
done efficiently on files other than NetCDF.
* create aggregation services for point/station observation datasets.
would be of high priority to us. In fact the whole issue of serving
point/station observations, and integrating with gridded data (say
overlaying fishery data on satellite data) is of high priority.
We aren't in th IDD, but we serve a lot of environmental data,
including a large amount of satellite data
(http://oceanwatch.pfel.noaa.gov ) . Would love to test this out, as
NOAA Fisheries has many user who use ArcXX products, and interfacing
OpeNDAP services with ESRIproducts has been of much concern.
