My initial plan was to gather all the requested inputs, ask THREDDS NCSS for the relevant data (which would potentially imply doing a temporal and spatial subset) and then collect the generated results into a zip file which would get returned to the user. However, upon further thinking about this, it does not seem like such a good idea.
Packing the files inside a zip would introduce some issues:
We should instead strive for having:
I think a better strategy for the design of model data downloads is:
From the requirements:
Note that, in spite of the dynamic download requests, we likely need to have some limit in place (and potentially some caching strategy) to avoid having the user making very large data download requests and risk degrading performance of the system.
