THREDDS project develops middleware that connects data providers and data users, closing the gap in accessing data.
Similar to how the World Wide Web and digital library technologies have made publishing and accessing multimedia documents more straightforward, THREDDS is developing an infrastructure to make the publication and access of scientific data just as convenient. To utilize THREDDS, one must meet a few requirements, including Java 1.5 or higher (Java 1.6 is the recommended version) and Tomcat 5.5 or higher (Tomcat 6.0 is the recommended version).
In this release, THREDDS introduces several new features, including Netcdf Subset for Metars, Grids, Grids as Points, the ability to write any GridDataset as a CF compliant netCDF file, and the ability to write UnidataStationObsDataset netCDF files. Additionally, the documentation link on catalog.html pages now points to the Unidata web site, and the default is now allow=false for CdmValidator, WCS, NetcdfSubset.
Several bugs have also been fixed, including setting cache=3 to prevent closing agg for Fmrc, clearing out coordinates systems in Aggregation.sync to correctly rebuild them, and reinitializing at 1 am local time for ncss/metars. Furthermore, to promote signed byte attributes to short, DODS NcDAS can be used, and UnidataStationObsDataset for ncss can be speeded up. Lastly, FmrcSingle now requires forecast time to be type double with NaNs for missing values. WCS and NetcdfServer no longer show a stack trace on 404 errors or user input.
