Test out a TerriaJS WPS example #4

We should test out one of the TerriaJS WPS examples and see how it works to inform thinking about a WPS interface between TerriaJS and GNOME.

All Datasets -> AREMI -> Renewable Energy -> Wave -> Australian Wave Energy Atlas. To try it out, select a point in the ocean near the Australian coastline and don't specify dates. If it doesn't work, try again - the WPS server is a bit flaky at the moment. Let me know if you have trouble; it's a bit experimental.

Well, I have a screen grab to prove that at least it works!

Cool, glad it worked for you! Just so you know, TerriaJS's WPS support is good enough to work with these Wave Atlas services, but will probably need more work to support other WPS servers. That's because WPS is pretty vague about what input and output types are possible, so TerriaJS certainly doesn't support everything a server might use yet. The necessary hooks are there to add support for more input and output types fairly easily, though. I'd be happy to do a quick evaluation of a WPS server if you have one in mind that you're interested in using.
