netCDF file response handler

This is the netCDF file response module for the for Hyrax. This handler is used to format returned data as a netCDF file. With a Hyrax server that has this handler installed and configured, a user may append a '.nc' to a URL (in the say way that they have always been able to append a '.asc') and get the data back in a netCDF File.

Note: This page lists our 'full releases' of the handler. Sometimes we make source-only releases or internal releases and don't bother to include them here. That is why the version numbers you see here have 'gaps.'

Our software distributions are signed using a public/private key pair. See Public Key for more information.

NetCDF file response handler 1.0.1 (13 May 2010)

This release includes a complete rewrite of the code, but with the same functionaility.

A bug was fixed for shared dimensions. It was that a dimension could not be shared if it had the same name, the same size, and belonged to an array of the same dimensionality. The last requirement was removed. A dimension can be shared if it has the same name and size as another now.

NetCDF file response handler 1.0.0 (09 February 2010)

This release includes support for writing OPeNDAP Grid data to NetCDF. Other changes include better automated tests and support for the new BES configuration file scheme.

Known issues with this release of the module: Shared dimensions that are a part of variables with different dimensionality do not create the shared dimensions in the generated netcdf file and sometimes causes the processing to throw an exception. This issue is being worked on and we should have a fix for it shortly. More information on the module can be found at http://docs.opendap.org/index.php/BES_-_Modules_-_FileOut_Netcdf

NetCDF file response handler 0.9.3 (15 June 2009)

This release fixes a problem with HDF4 files and repeating dimensions. In the previous version the first dimension size and name was used for all of the dimensions of any array in an HDF4 file. Not arrays in HDF4 files are dimensioned correctly.

NetCDF file response handler 0.9.2 (13 April 2009)

This is the first release of the handler and it's not quite 'feature-complete' but it is still very usable. This version will produce a netCDF for many different types of data sets served by Hyrax. However, it does not yet understand Sequence types.

Fixes since the 0.9.0 beta release:

Variable names are compatible with netCDF 3.6.2
Sequences are currently elided but an attribute is added to the file noting each variable that has been removed.
