it could be the order of lat/longs is reversed in your request.
for some unfathomable reason the spec switches to ymin,xmin,ymax,xmax in 1.3.0
when you use CRS:84
see this:

or ncWMS specifically this:

so your initial link works if you swap them around...

Objet : [thredds] WMS 1.3.0 blank maps using EPSG:4326 (but works using CRS:84)
Hi TDS and/or ncWMS folks,
I recently upgraded from TDS 4.2.10 to 4.3.16 and am noticing something strange
in my WMS output. GetMap URL's that used to work fine in TDS 4.2.10 are coming
up blank in 4.3.16. As a workaround, I discovered that changing my CRS from
EPSG:4326 to CRS:84 fixes the problem. Seems like a bug with using EPSG:4326??
Here's an example using a ROMS ocean forecast of water temperature over central
Hawaii. Using EPSG:4326 gives a blank map:
http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/thredds/wms/hioos/roms_forec_regridded/hiig/ROMS_Hawaii_Regional_Ocean_Model_Regridded_best.ncd?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=true&LAYERS=water_temp&CRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=202.12371826171875,20.17714549791179,204.46517944335938,21.50418550077842&WIDTH=1705&HEIGHT=1034&TIME=2013-04-15T00:00:00Z&ELEVATION=-5&STYLES=boxfill/rainbow&NUMCOLORBANDS=256&COLORSCALERANGE=24.02441,26.03417
In contrast, if I switch this to CRS:84 I now get a color map as expected:
http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/thredds/wms/hioos/roms_forec_regridded/hiig/ROMS_Hawaii_Regional_Ocean_Model_Regridded_best.ncd?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=true&LAYERS=water_temp&CRS=CRS:84&BBOX=202.12371826171875,20.17714549791179,204.46517944335938,21.50418550077842&WIDTH=1705&HEIGHT=1034&TIME=2013-04-15T00:00:00Z&ELEVATION=-5&STYLES=boxfill/rainbow&NUMCOLORBANDS=256&COLORSCALERANGE=24.02441,26.03417
Oh... And I just found another workaround. If I switch to WMS 1.1.1 instead of
1.3.0, EPSG:4326 also works:
http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/thredds/wms/hioos/roms_forec_regridded/hiig/ROMS_Hawaii_Regional_Ocean_Model_Regridded_best.ncd?service=WMS&version=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=true&LAYERS=water_temp&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=202.12371826171875,20.17714549791179,204.46517944335938,21.50418550077842&WIDTH=1705&HEIGHT=1034&TIME=2013-04-15T00:00:00Z&ELEVATION=-5&STYLES=boxfill/rainbow&NUMCOLORBANDS=256&COLORSCALERANGE=24.02441,26.03417
In short, I'm hoping that somebody can fix the WMS so that EPSG:4326 will not
give me blank maps in WMS 1.3.0, but I have workarounds in the meantime so it's
not pressing.
Thanks!,
