Ethan,
The catalog is attached. The filter element is in a datasetScan
element that we use to generically wrap our NetCDF files, and
not included within the featureCollection element or any other
aggregation element. It is meant to generally apply throughout our
installation.
Sample files may be obtained from:
ftp://ftp.cdc.noaa.gov/Datasets/noaa.oisst.v2.highres/
The files for this year are updated on a daily basis, barring
problems.
Let me know what else I can do to help.
