Write generic, unified netcdf wx model. #16

Open ksshannon opened 9 years ago

We should just look for variables we can use. Shouldn't be too difficult

ksshannon commented 9 years ago

Preferably only using GDAL API, so we wouldn't have to link to libnetcdf directly.

NARRA is available here:

If a unified netcdf wx model is used, #49 can be addressed at the same time, and we can support absolute ranges in the form of start and end times. I think a single thredds client can be written to handle all thredds requests (NCDC, UCAR), with the same interface as the NOMADS client to handle all thredds/netcdf subsetting. Client and consumer will be separated then, and easier to expand, with only 2 wxModelInitialization inheriters (hopefully).

That sounds great.
