Hi all:
Correct, scan only works on local directories, but you can list remote
datasets explicitly as below. TDS 4.3 will have some expanded
capabilities for this using "feature collections".
These remote aggregations do seem sluggish, i assume its because of the
extra hop, but havent tried to measure anything. Im hoping that TDS 4.3
will improve this, especially if you use cdmremote access (if the remote
server is also a TDS).

I've experimented some with remote aggregation, and it is not
possible, as far as I can tell, to use the scan element for remote
datasets. You have to do something like:
<aggregation ...>
<netcdf location="http://remoteserver/thredds/dodsC/dataset/file1.nc"; />
<netcdf location="http://remoteserver/thredds/dodsC/dataset/file2.nc"; />
</aggregation>
I built these aggregations by parsing the remote THREDDS catalog.xml,
and it works in concept. There are possible performance problems with
this since it is not the normal usage. The unidata guys might have
more insight into this.

Hi All,
Is it possible to use Ncml aggregation over external datasets?
In the documentation, the scan element only can load local datasets.
Can everyone show me the best way to address this problem?
Thanks,
